fathom Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 02:06 AM) ozzie is a great off field/clubhouse manager...on the field IMO he is definitely sub par...he has admitted that he doesnt really look at stats and just manages on his gut...to me, in this day in age, that is absolutely inexcusible.....any other type of mangement in any other work environment would be fired for neglecting such information.....not saying you have to use that stuff as the bible, but im not sure how you can simply ignore alot of that stuff Like letting Wassermann face G. Anderson? Someone said on the radio that Ozzie didn't know Anderson was on their bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Uribe (and crede when he was healthy), AJ, cabrera, are all inferior hitters....in addition konerko has been roughly equivalent, and probably a tad worse this year...and alexei is similar IMO Other than Uribe, those are all better hitters than swisher.

claydude14 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) I'm honestly sorry I started this game thread. I was gonna start one, but I started two of the four we played in Toronto... we all know how those went (ridiculous pitching and no hitting). God. I'm not giving up hope, but I definitely started drinking when Paulie went down... on the first play of the game I tune into. Depressing, but I still think we are in it. I want the Central this year, I want it bad. I'll talk about the playoffs when we get to the playoffs, but dag gummit we are still in a pennant race with 3 weeks left. The Central title is within grasp. We can do this, it's up to the guys left. Griffey, let's f***in' go, dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK, Thome, CQ, OC, Alexei, Dye and AJ are all better this season. Griffey has struggled, but i will take his track record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Second guessing is so easy to do. The Yankees second guessed Torre all the time; now they have a clown in Girardi. Oz has gotten the most out of his talent this year. Any manager we had you can second guess 10 moves in any loss. That's a fact. He's a great manager.

How about letting Wassermann face G. Anderson? Who can forget the Horacio debacle in Baltimore, followed up with having AJP "try" to bunt in front of Quentin.

BearSox Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I love the Nick Swisher is good arguement... the guy is hitting .226 with 120 strikeouts, but is considered good because he is "patient" (which is BS anyway as he is much too patient at bat, letting good pitches go and K'ing way too many times looking) and walks a fair amount of times.

That's a fact. He's a great manager. A great in game manager. I suggest you familiarize yourself with other managers. There is a long list of better in game managers than Ozzie. I think he can motivate, but he and his magic 8 ball are epic fail at times during the course of a game. Maybe we can refresh your memory. Challenging MVP candidates with a base open in a close game late with men on 2nd and 3rd. Then treating punch and judy hitters who hit .230 like they are the previous MVP candidate after he cleared the bases. Bringing in a lefty to face a lefty. When said lefty cant throw strikes to a lefty, and the lefty up hits .300 against lefties. Bunting with guys who have proven over the last few years they can't bunt. Everytime you have 2 outs and a man on first, you steal. To the point that other managers pitch out and still you dont adjust. Playing guys out of position and not subing in one run games in the 8th and 9th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 You know, I'm getting sick of sitting around the computer waiting for medical reports to be posted. After the Quentin stuff last Friday, hopefully things are fine with Konerko. Of course if it was the Cubs, he'd probably miss one game at the most.
