Dick Allen Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Tyler Flowers is pretty freaking awful. He needs Tim Laker to help him out again, as his swing is significantly longer than it was when he was promoted. He was on a hot streak when he came up. He was striking out at a pretty alarming rate for a 25 year old in his 3rd year in AAA up until a couple weeks before his call up. He's always going to have problems with a long swing.

Soxfest Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The pitching staff is not as good as some on this site think it is. They lay down and show no toughness in big games all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is losing despite having perhaps the greatest manager in the game. Loria is going to go broke buying WS championship rings when he brings in Ozzie. Ozzie's greatness is not questioned, I just wonder how you can think a team can finish below .500 with Ozzie at the helm? It doesn't seem possible to me. Ozzie is too good. So I ask a simple question and get that? Nice. I don't know why you guys think I'm a 100 percent Ozzie backer. I already said I won't be upset when he gets fired and I think deep down, Ozzie also knows he has no reason to complain if he gets fired. I just don't think he's the devil and I think he ultimately is a better candidate than anybody we bring in to replace him.
