fathom Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 It just baffles me how anyone could defend Timo. He's a terrible, terrible player! 5 for his last 36 now....just the spark you want from a bench player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Timo and his 216 BA shows why he is so clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Since this game is over, they better get their s*** straight for tomorrow. Ozzie better f***ing do something "this this this f***!" This spoiled my night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) Oh and 5 outs in 4 plate appearences today. Lets get him more at-bats. And the sad thing is right now if I looked at it, Ozzie and KW would probably bring back Timo next year for around the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won't be for a significant time as a starter. He's been solid enough as a pinch hitter though. He's no Lenny Harris, but he has some big hits.

He's been solid enough as a pinch hitter though. He's no Lenny Harris, but he has some big hits. The problem with Timo on the roster is that Ozzie thinks that Timo is a super sub. He has more ABs than any of our subs. How can Ozzie play a midget at 1st. He did. How can Ozzie play Timo as a DH when he cant hit. He did. How can Ozzie have Timo leadoff with a bad BA, low OBP and an 0-7 lifetime against Lohse. He did. Tomorrow night Timo will leadoff. And for his clutch hits, he had a few times up with men on and what did he do, slap the ball on the ground and GIDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. You can't keep playing a below average player who's slumping. I said it yesterday when the game was called: the worst thing about the game was that Timo just earned himself a handful of starts with his two bloopers. Most bench players that go 5 for 36 get released, not promoted to the leadoff or number 5 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers suck in the situations that Hawk and Ozzie think he's amazing at. Very rarely do PH numbers impress anybody. Many have said that it is incredibly difficult to pinch hit. Timo has a bunch of big hits, a couple game-winning. This is one situation where Hawk's "don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it applies."

southsideirish71 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 And we forget that Timo is slow and also does that one handed hot dog swipe at the ball s*** in LF. I am waiting for the ball to hit him in the junk one day on that. Then Ozzie will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Politte needs to pick it up, his splits so far this month aren't good at all. We need some momentum heading into the bottom of this inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one situation where Hawk's "don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it applies." Considering how Ozzie likes to rest his starters seemingly every other day, you need a back-up outfielder who can be inserted into the starting lineup and produce. Timo gives you absolutely no offensive contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
