Balta1701 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) I don’t want, nor do I think, that Ozzie will fired, but his slavish devotion to Wise is nearing an fireable offense. It's not slavish just yet...it's only been a few games, thanks to Wise's injury. Couple more weeks and we can legitimately use that word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player should earn a managers respect, not be given it unconditionally, regardless of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Pods looked like a torpedo flying up the line there. He's hitting every ball hard too. What's the deal with Wise being out of options? Does this force us to keep him, and send BA down? I wouldn't mind someone else pickin up Wise. BA is our boy now, I hope he is on this team for years to come.

I think this is the key. Ozzie sticks up for his players and gives them every chance to produce or fail. Sometimes to a fault. I also think it helps more than it hurts. Wise will be gone once Ozzie thinks he has had a fair shot after coming back from his injury. Contrary to what many think on the board, Ozzie doesn't want to lose while giving favorites chances. As long as you are professinal inyour approach to the game and work your tail off he'' give you chances. Where BA went wrong a few years ago is that not only did he not produce but by his own admission, he didn't take it serious enough. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
