NorthSideSox72 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 6, 2009 -> 01:03 PM) cowley via twitter: Its a shot across Alexei's bow. And a chance to rest as a side benefit. I highly doubt we see Nix play more than a game or two there, before Alexei comes back in again. Maybe, if Alexei comes back and STILL sucks for weeks, then we'll see something more permanent considered. But for now, its a warning shot.

Heads22 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It may be a roll of the ⚂⚃. Let's hope Mark is on the ✖. I also hope that Ozzie has now realized Brian is not a ☭ and could even be a ✩. I love that I've now figured out unicode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 If there's one thing Ozzie preaches it's good ABs and Alexei hasn't had more than a handful to start the year. He can get away with it when he's on fire and raking but he's gonna have to learn how to work a count, lay off breaking pitches out of the zone and wait for his pitch when he's slumping otherwise he's gonna start losing ABs.

If you ask me, last year, Alexei would start most at-bats with garbage, but then got good on 2 strikes. This year, his hunkering down on 2 strikes seems to have disappeared.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 a good old fashioned bench clearing brawl where no one gets hurt, a la 2000 vs. the tigers. Might do the trick again. (I know, i'm grasping at straws. Bad ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Mark Buerhle steps up and shows us why he is the team ace. The ace stops a losing streak. He also goes to 5-0. I am counting on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with Ozzie, its ironic because Ozzie never worked a count when he played. There has to be something more to this than just results and Ramirez making a lot of outs. The roster is full of guys who have been almost rewarded for not playing well. Maybe last year's success went to his head, maybe the league caught up and he has no answers, maybe he's just on a bad streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
