Balta1701 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) can you blame ozzie? nothing he can do about situation with the way this team has been playing. When something remarkable like a .650 OPS at the Cell is the reason for the way this team has been playing, then Ozzie needs to do something, because that's a mental thing.

caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Any manager forced to use a starting line-up of Scott Podsednik, Brian Anderson and Jayson Nix would be driven to drink, clearly. What starting outfield have you seen in a boxscore WORSE than that one in recent weeks? I can't think of any of the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 In defense of Ozzie, the weather is miserable. I don't expect him to be in a great mood to play baseball today. That's not necessarily a sign of the clubhouse mood or Ozzie's general mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisox2334 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 ozzie can only do so much with the hitters.. You can look at video, see research, try pump them up by bringing up likes of beckham energize ball park and what not. I really dont know what you can do with team like that.

caulfield12 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) There's danger here, Sheree. Why did we treat Peralta like he's Babe Ruth there? Kind of silly. But somehow Gavin got out of it. The bullpens, thankfully our biggest advantage, will decide this one. Knock on (Kerry) Wood. Edited June 6, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 04:23 PM) Fields was 13 for his last 35 before the June 4th game. Dye is 6/21 in his last 7 days and hit .261 in May. I'll stand by my argument. Over the last 15 games: Dye: .302/.380/.651/1.031 AJP: .400/.438/.556/.994 Ramirez: .328/.371/.431/.802 Podsednik: .317/.369/.417/.786 Fields: .317/.349/.390/.739 so, uh, how is Josh our best hitter?

At this point, it's quite literally something mental. There's no other way around it. This team is one of the better hitting teams in baseball on the road, but they're not hitting at all in the Cell. There's no way that's anything other than something in their heads. If I told you the Rockies were hitting 120 points of OPS better on the road than at home, you'd smack me silly.
