fathom Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 04:17 AM) Thats not my point. My point is how stupid the argument is in the first place: when the team is good, the manager is awesome; when the team is s***, the manager is horrible. Well, when you're on your way to 3 years out of 4 with a mediocre to awful team, then I guess your manager is horrible. The same philosophy you mentioned above is true with every team in every league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) The Rangers were right in the middle of the AL in offense entering tonight. 9 runs and 19 hits later despite a strike zone as wide as the BP oil spill, and they'll be a little better. Our pitching staff can cure many offensive ills. Just remember, we could have flipped the rotation to have Peavy pitch tonight and Buehrle on Sunday...but Peavy is a grinder!

ThunderBolt Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Well, when you're on your way to 3 years out of 4 with a mediocre to awful team, then I guess your manager is horrible. The same philosophy you mentioned above is true with every team in every league. It's true in every sport too. At the end of the day, manager's job is to put his team in the best position to win. That's all you can ask of him. Ozzie hasn't done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'd almost think about having Kotsay lay one down just to stay out of the DP and get Quentin to the plate with a chance to tie it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ozzie has done fine, Bolt. Have you ever heard the man's postgame pressers? He explains every move and they all make sense. The team SUCKS. The manager is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Feliz's stuff is unreal, but he does have Carlos Marmol syndrome of walking guys. Once he is a bit more consistent in the strike zone, he'll be a stellar closer just like Marmol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2006 and 2008 teams were not bad, and he still did a lousy job managing them. 2005 was fun, but at some point, the capital from that runs out.

He explains every move and they all make sense. The team SUCKS. The manager is fine. How did he explain Omar Vizquel DHing with Teahen playing 3B?

SoxAce Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 You can't help but watch a young kid like Feliz pitch (and Andrus play SS). I don't think I've ever been so giddy watching a sox game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same philosophy you mentioned above is true with every team in every league. Or its just that the manager just doesn't really f***ing matter all that much in baseball and I'll stick with the guy with the ring over another guy if its all the same. Or maybe if your manager is also your GM. I said it earlier, Ozzie needs to manage and KW needs to put the team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YonderLaroche Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 When will Kotsay be released... come on 0-5 and under .200avg again.. a WINNING team wouldn't keep kotsay on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the grounder up the middle that would have been a routine DP even if Harden didn't kick it? Ha, the worst part of that was Stone having to agree with Hawk.

sin city sox fan Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 f***in Kotsay....I still can't believe we gave up BA to get him. We'll still be ok though....as long as Q avoids the double play, Lexi will tie this up with one swing of the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
