caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Fire away! Couldn't be a more brutal game...three strikeouts and a failed sacrifice...when he didn't execute and Olivo dove to catch it, that was his best play of the day, and would have put Fields on 2nd and now the game would be tied. But he can't even mess up correctly. Let's try Jerry Owens tomorrow. It couldn't get any worse. Everyone has seen this one coming like a deer in the headlights.

nitetrain8601 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Stone has already taken shots this game. On a fastball down the middle that Wise missed. "If you can't hit that pitch, you're selling cars." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Wise is horrible. Fifth outfielder, fine, your opening day starter at the top of the order (and not because of injuries), puhhlleease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 he's absolutely worthless...there are almost an unlimited number of players in independent leagues and AAA that could do the same job as him. And he's starting in CF and batting leadoff. It's absolutely god awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I can't believe Guillen left Wise out there in the bottom of the 9th on defense. If you can't hit a high fastball or hanging slider and the the only balls you can foul off are low in the zone, there's a major problem.

Balta1701 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Special thread dedicated to shots at wise. AKA; virtually every thread we have here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Do we really need to make a thread like this after one game? Most people want Getz in first and Wise or BA in 9th. Slamming the guy nonstop however has the unintended effect of absolving others of their mistakes today, which lets face it were dumber than just striking out against a good pitcher.

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Well, I should have waited until after the game...when I posted this, I had the idea we were going to lose and have the need to vent for the next 30 hours...so it was more for therapeutic purposes. The fact of the matter is that everyone is already on Wise, you can already hear the boos coming from the fans today. I feel sorry for him a bit, but you shouldn't be feeling sorry for your leadoff hitter after just one game in a season. So many positives: 1) Fields and Getz 2) Thome's bat 3) Buehrle's perseverance 4) the entire bullpen NEGATIVES: 1) we are slow 2) we are slow 3) we are really slow 4) we are still station-to-station offensively 5) Quentin seems to be really fighting himself at-bat Edited April 7, 2009 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J. Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 GUYS YOU'RE ALL OVER-REACTING. YOU CAN'T JUDGE A PLAYER BASED ON ONE BAD GAME. IT'S TOO SMALL OF A SAMPLE SIZE. IT WAS A GOOD WIN CAN'T WE JUST ENJOY IT? GIVE HIM TIME. Wait, this is exactly what he's done his entire career? And he's 31 years old? Carry on. This guy offers nothing that can't be replaced by any number of minor league free agents, and he's getting the most at-bats of anyone on the team.

Ozzie seems to get lucky a lot when he makes some god-awful decisions. I don't bother saying much more though because I get that he's popular and the Sox have been successful under him.

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Wise should be happy he's getting a chance to be an everyday player and that the Sox have let him play some baseball. At the same time, he's in a position where he can do nothing but fail. There is absolutely zero chance that Wise should be starting and leading off for any baseball team, let alone one that intends on contending. Its not his fault he's in a spot where he can't succeed nor is it Ozzie's fault that he was given zero options for the top of the order. I understand he wants to keep Getz out of a pressure situation early, but ultimately Ozzie might not have that leeway and I really can't blame Ozzie for not wanting BA to leadoff cause he's still got a long ways to go as well. I don't blame Ozzie, I don't blame Wise, I blame Kenny. I still like Kenny though, but the in-house options were plain bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie has made some of the dumbest moves I've ever seen watching baseball. usually the (poor) excuse made for him is that many other managers in the league are as bad, if not worse. I really need to start watching more teams because I can't imagine many managers being much worse in-game (not that that's an excuse of ANY kind, anyway).

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm sure Wise is a nice guy, but he's just not a major league player, let alone a leadoff hitter and everyday center fielder. That's pretty much all that needs to be said, put Getz at leadoff, Alexei in the 2 hole, BA in CF and the 9 spot in the order, and be done with it.

chw42 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Getz is the future leadoff hitter. BA should be batting 9th come the middle of the month. I have nothing against Wise, but he's just not real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is made after the culmination of last season, spring training, and one regular season game. Dewayne Wise is a bad baseball player and he should be nowhere near the top of the order nor CF ever again. He will be given more chances, but I hope Anderson comes in and makes a good impression early on, ala Quentin last year, and he just takes the reigns over.
