Lineups. Willie sits against RHP. Hmm...

why the f*** doesn't borchard play against righties? :angry:

Ozzie must have rode this to school.

As I stated in my blog yesterday, If I was Willie Harris, I would be very concerned about my job for next season.

 

I love seing a guy with an OBP <.300 leading off. :rolly>

Because Timo at least gives him an option. He has no options at all against LHP, if he did Joe wouldn't play against them either.

 

Who should Ozzie put out there tonight, Everett? Even if he wasn't hurt again?

let borchard play so we can see what he can do

Doubt he is with the sox next year. Might as well try to get something this off-season if possible. I mean it won't help him to be a fourth or fifth outfielder with us.

Yeah, don't worry about getting on base or anything. Not like you need to get on base to score runs.

 

What a joke. Ozzie talks about getting on base but he doesn't do anything about it.

 

0-2 to Timo.

Ozzie has proven over and over this year that he has no clue what the hell he's doing. Hey Oz, the season is over, playing the youngsters!!!

Flash, if you read this reenter the room. all you other people enter the room too :fight

The best way to showcase Borchard is to sit him.

 

I think the Sox already know what Borchard can do. He was quoted in the paper yesterday, still talking about the 505 foot hr. He said it was a "tremendous glimpse" of his abilities.

 

Of course we've got the enormous panorama of strikeouts too.

After he was asked about it... he didn't bring it up.

They like timo waaaaaayyyyy to much.

Go Sox. :D :cheers

I imagined -- but isn't it a little presumptuous for anyone hitting like Borchard to be using the word "tremendous" when referring to themselves? I was surprised that he didn't dismiss it entirely when it came up.

A players ceiling is what he believes it is. If Borchard thought he could be an average player, that is the best he would ever do. With his atheltic gifts, the guy should believe he has a "tremendous" potential.

 

The last thing i want to see is a player bad mouth himself like Willie did earlier in the year.

Okay. I just think there's a way to be a bit more humble without being negative. I also have probably a dimmer view of his potential than you, so it strikes me as stranger.

Don't get me wrong, I don't see him making it that big. He seems to be thinking way too much. But you can't deny the kids athletic ability, strength, and heart. he hustles every play, and is an incredible student of the game. I honestly think if he could hone his athleticism he could be the best player on this team, bar none.

 

But I just don't see it happening unfortunately.

What's not to like? The lack of OBP? The lack of power? The lack of ability to play a significant defensive position?

 

Oh, his batting average with runners in scoring position. Yes, and if we had 9 Timo Perezs, we'd never have anyone in scoring position.

 

But he's a grinder. He's going to grind the Sox into fourth place next year if he starts every day in RF.

EXACTLY! I'm so sick of the love fest for Timo right now. Hawk praises him like he's Ted Williams. I really hope that KW isn't considering starting Timo in RF next year. Timo is a fine pinch hitter, but he should NEVER start on a regular basis in the majors.

joe may suck at the dish, but at least he makes up for it with his stellar defense.

I f***ing Hate Joe Crede!!! :fyou

Another error. :puke :headshake

 

I hate both of these f***ing teams. :chair

...and the rout is on, fueled by more shoddy ( s***ty ) defense...
