fathom Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) It took 3 months, but I'm back to hating Ozzie. If he can't handle playing rookies, then he needs to leave this organization, as there's a handful more to come in the next few years.

I don't know if Ozzie has the patience to break in rookies. Maybe Ozzie should take his own advice he gave everyone when they complained about Wise's at bats and apply it to Beckham. So Getz who drops a throw, and then dogs after the ball doesn't get benched but Beckham does. Awesome. .

Flash Tizzle Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I knew this s*** would happen with Beckham. Guillen can be so predictable. A part of me believes he would have been benched even if he went 6-6. And didn't Guillen say before Beckham's promotion he'd find him consistent ABs? Really, what is an off day going to do? He'll only think about it and be more frustrated that he'll have to wait another day to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Today seems like a perfect day for Castro to start. Lefty pitcher on the mound, afternoon game after a night game, Floyd pitching, so at least with Castro's arm we have a slight chance of throwing runners out... I like Ozzie, but he's a dumbass a lot of the times. However, if we keep sucking, I wouldn't be surprised just to see him step down, he seems like the type that would do that.

I'm one to normally come to Ozzie's defense. I've got nothing for this one. Sowers is one of the worst pitchers on the planet. This would be an ideal opportunity for Beckham to have a breakout game.

BearSox Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 A logical lineup for today would have been... 1. Podsednik, LF 2. Ramirez, SS 3. Thome, DH 4. Konerko, 1B 5. Castro, C 6. Fields, 3B 7. Nix, RF 8. Beckham, 2B 9. Anderson, CF Of course, that'd make too much sense... However, after the 4 spot, that was a tough lineup to put together. Our options for CF, RF, 3B, and 2B are crap right now. Besides Beckham, who's a rookie and would be silly to expect a huge impact from him, we got nothing. Dye is suspended, Wise and Anderson have had like a total of 2 good AB's, Nix thinks he's the greatest home run hitter of all time, Fields doesn't know what he's doing... yuck. I'm hoping for next year, if we don't have Figgins at 3B and leading off, we can get someone like Rolen for 3B who can hit and provide us with a solid option in the middle of the lineup if we're ever in a situation with two big hitters out (Dye and Q)... Beckham would be at 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it's not that he didn't want Beckham called up He feels that he's being handcuffed as a manger by Williams holding the reigns on who and who isn't on the roster Players like Wise, Betemit, Lillibridge, Whisler get called up to the big leagues from the minors ALL the time But when it's your most highly touted player that's brought to the bigleagues, the manager isn't really given the same type of control as he is over those other scrub-type players This is why Ozzie seems as though he doesn't like having Beckham in the lineup, it's not because of who Beckham is or his ability It's because Ozzie feels as if he's having his managerial duties cut short by a 3rd party (Kenny Williams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
