How many outs does El Duque need to get?

 

Everett's was an easy fly ball.

 

Uribe blew a double play.

 

He does not need to settle down, the defense needs to apologize and beg him for forgiveness.

 

SB

That would never have been a DP. One thing was the bad hop it took. Another was the radical shift they had on made it impossible for Harris to get to the bag in time. It also was debatable whether or not Uribe would have gotten the batter if he fielded it cleanly. Hawk thinks it will be changed to a hit.

Seriously, what was Ozzie expecting by putting him in the outfield? Everyone in baseball knows that the past few years, he was the worst outfielder in baseball. Not only that, Everett's not exactly someone who's learned to avoid injuries. And what do you know.....one play hit to him, it cost us 2 runs, and he hurt himself.

Well if he's only a DH then he's a pinch hitter in late May because that OTHER guy ain't playing the field

Were you complaing before the game?

If Carl has to go on the D.L. Who should they call up?

On last nights game thread, I was saying how we need another right handed hitting outfielder. Someone mentioned Everett, and I said he should never be playing in the outfield, as he's an absolute disaster out there. So, to answer your question, yes I was complaining before the game.

If Carl has to go on the D.L. Who should they call up?

 

 

Lets hope he doesn't have to go on the DL, he is the best hitter we have right now.

Giambi. But how about we do not freak out over something we have no information about yet.

From the looks of it, it doesn't look like he'll be swinging the bat any time soon.

Wow Crede went down looking but he sure had some words for the ump.

they are calling that low strike, caled it twice to joe, i thought they were both ball

They gave El Duque a real low one too. The ump seems to be consistent.

Why the hell are you getting mad at Ozzie? Where do you expect Carl to play when Frank comes back. He sure as hell isn't going to be DHing a lot. Carl needed to get work in in the OF. Oh well, s*** happens. In no way is this Ozzies fault, period.

Inning over.

Elarton has throw 4 balls.

I completely agree. There will be times, about trhee times a week where he will play the outfield, if frabnk comes back. Frank has along way to go. Carl is hitting the ball well right now and is driving in runs. He needs to play the outfield as well.

That's the thing. Lots of Ozzie b****ing now, none before the game. Just a bad break, really, that's all you can say about it.

Fathom is correct. If Everett is going to be in the outfield a lot the Sox are not going to win. He is a DH. When and if Frank comes back, Everett is either a real expensive pinch hitter, platoons with Frank or is trade bait. He also appears to be gaining back some of the weight that he lost.

Death to Juan Uribe.

All I know is that Everett is an absolute disaster in the outfield. In a way, Everett/Ozzie/KW got lucky that Frank was hurt, so they don't have a 4 million dollar bench player. A pitcher won't have a lot of success with Everett in the field, especially someone like El Duque who gives up a lot of flyballs.

Fathom pointed out Everett should not be in the field way before this game started. He has every right to second guess Ozzie's decision.

Fathom is correct. If Everett is going to be in the outfield a lot the Sox are not going to win. He is a DH. When and if Frank comes back, Everett is either a real expensive pinch hitter, platoons with Frank or is trade bait. He also appears to be gaining back some of the weight that he lost.

 

Incorrect. You wouldn't keep a hot hitter on the bench just to get MAYBE 4 ABs a week. You play him. You take the downgrade in defense for the improvement in offense. Especially on a team who's offense will have to scratch and claw to score runs.

He did have a big dinner yesterday. Maybe he didn't take a s*** since then?

 

Honestly i do not see what you are talking about.

Hey good thing is we have already won this series, now lets try to salvage this and maybe get a win!

So you're gonna bench Podsednik, Rowand or Dye? I don't think so.
