ReinsdorfSucks Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Everett playing in that spacious outfield scares the crap out of me. Why does it seem like Ozzie is making Pods into a platoon player? We didn't trade a marquee power hitter to get a player who only starts against righties. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> espicially when scotty hangs in there better than any of our other lefthanded hitters against southpaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Why can't Ozzie just keep the same starting lineup just once when going for the 3 game sweep (changing catchers is ok). I really wonder if it's becoming a mental thing also with this team, where they dont get up as much for the final game of the series. Anytime you bench 3 starters for a game, there's going to be some type of letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 12:35 AM) I'm looking forward to seeing Ozuna play at Coors. Yeah, with the high altitude, he might be able to get the ball out of the grass part of the infield on a fly. I'm ok with the fact Ozuna is playing tonight, but I hate that he's leading off with the pitcher in the 9 hole. Ozuna would be better served in a position where he could bunt a guy over or do a hit-and-run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) STOP IT OZZIE!!! We have got to stop making so many outs on the bases. This isn't Closser or Greene catching. This guy can actually throw. Edited June 9, 2005 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 PK has become just a terrible overall hitter. All you have to do is get 2 strikes on him, and he'll chase the offspeed pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Everett is batting where he is because he has a knack for driving in big runs. Right there is a perfect example of why this team does not want to trade Carl Everett in 2005. Let him leave as a free agent and get a draft pick, fine. And right there is why you should be aggressive on the bases. Make the other teams make plays, put the pressure on them. 3-0 White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when you have an inexperienced base stealer trying to steal against a lefty with a good move, and no outs, that's not exactly "smartball". Also, Dye has easily become our most dangerous hitter at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with it, he's 30 years old, he has experience. Sometimes the defense makes the plays, the catcher made a nice throw. Everett has more of a tendancy to put the bat on the ball, a good idea when hitting behind Konerko who's been striking out a lot this year.
