southsideirish71 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Timo Perez went 0-for-3 with a sac bunt today, dropping his average to .225. Will Ozzie Guillen's overreliance on the sac bunt or his overreliance on Timo cost him more in the end? Perez got 56 at-bats this month and hit .214/.271/.286. He's hitting .225/.273/.306 on the season and he finished at .246/.285/.338 last year. With those kind of lines, he almost qualifies for becoming a regular on the Royals. But Perez did contribute a key sacrifice today, moving up two baserunners in the third inning and helping the team score a run. One run. In a game they went on to lose 9-2. Take it for what its worth. Edited August 31, 2005 by southsideirish71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceffa2000 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Our lineup today was depressing from the start and never amounted to much today. We lost all momentum offensively gained in the last 3 games by putting that lineup in. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I wonder how the players feel when they see this kind of lineup. Especially the starting pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The lineup today was pathetic. If Ozzie isn't going to play all the regulars we might as well release them. No point in cluttering the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Maybe Ozzie is resting our guys for the autograph sessions at soxfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Ozzie Guillen should not be managing a burger joint, no less a Major League baseball team. All faith in him has been lost, without question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceffa2000 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I used to rationalize it as preparation for the stretch run. BUT THIS IS THE GODDAMN STRETCH RUN! When your team has the best record in baseball and then has a below .500 month, its time to solidify the lineup. No more of this f***ing around. These guys are rested and ready to play. Thats their job. They can handle it Oz. Goddamit I'm so pissed right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 you're forgetting Crede's stellar August in which he hit .103 and drove in 1. On a solo homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
