BearSox Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Did anyone even think Fields had a chance to make contact in the final AB? Â I thought it might be wise to take him out and put someone in who might have a chance to hit Verlander, but after thinking about, letting Fields look completely overmatched will let him know why he was benched.

BearSox Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Beckham's actually the 4th to hit the big leagues... I believe Connor Gillespie (South Carolina?) had a cup of coffee with the Giants last year, not really sure why, they must have really needed a 3B.

knightni Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Come back to the reporter to complain when you learn to hit a fastball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ozzie seems to trying to be consistent in letting the young guys succeed or fail without getting subbed. At the beginning of the season he probably puts someone else in there, but he's letting it play out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise and Nix were the available bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 At least Josh didn't swing and miss too many times today. 3 walks ain't bad. Although the last one looked was kind of iffy and he almost struck out there. Got bailed out by two umpires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't get why pitchers with any velocity at all don't throw anything but fastballs to Fields. For some reason all of them decided to get cute with Fields and try and paint the corners, etc. Until he proves he can hit a mid 90's fastball, there's no reason why a pitcher shouldn't throw that over and over. Â I liked that he at least choked up on the bat after he realized that the Zumaya fastball was already in the catchers glove by the time he swung.

hawkubes Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) cry me a river. How do you figure he's crying here? To me, it sounds like he had the meeting he was looking for, he didn't hear what he wanted to hear, but has decided he's going to take it like a man. Would you rather he say he's happy to be sitting on the bench? I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
