Rowand44 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) and the M's will probably be out of it by July(they could surprise however) I wouldn't count on that. I think the M's if a few things go right could finish above LAoA and with the A's notorious for their slow starts you just never know.

SSH2005 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The Mariners have improved but their rotation still doesn't look strong enough to me. They have a really nice 1-2-3 but their 4-5 looks weak to me. Jamie Moyer Felix Hernandez Jarrod Washburn Joel Pineiro Gil Meche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 QUOTE(kevin57 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:18 PM) Personally, I've not had a problem with Ozzie's resting and rotating of players. In fact, any analysis of the post-season reveals what a genius he was. The only I have about Ozzie sometimes are his bullpen moves. I probably agree with him 80% of the time, but the other 20% are truly baffling. In those other 20% he's testing guys in certain situations. He's giving the opportunity to succeed or fail so he knows what he's got. He wants to see who has the gonads to handle to being put into tough situations.

YASNY Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 08:28 AM) There are certain things Ozzie does as a manager right now that will cause me to never be sold on his in game skills, regardless of what we win (hell, we could win again this year for all I know). He's a great clubhouse leader and the best manager in baseball during the 21 hours the game isn't being played, by a mile and a half, and that's worth something obviously. But his in game manager skills and strategy simply aren't very good, and I can't look past that. Yes, we won the damn WORLD SERIES last year, which means after a bad loss, I won't be on here freaking out all the time. But, I will sit whereever I was watching the game, whether it be at home, a friends house, or some restaurant, and think "Ozzie, WTF are you doing?" like I did after a lot of games the last 2 years. I don't know, but our record in 1 and 2 run games suggest otherwise. He managed near flawlessly in the post season, and we won a lot of very close games there as well. Which again suggests he does know what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure can't pick against them." Gave me a little chill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
