It just baffles me how anyone could defend Timo. He's a terrible, terrible player! 5 for his last 36 now....just the spark you want from a bench player.

Timo and his 216 BA shows why he is so clutch.

Since this game is over, they better get their s*** straight for tomorrow. Ozzie better f***ing do something "this this this f***!" This spoiled my night...

Oh and 5 outs in 4 plate appearences today.

 

Lets get him more at-bats.

And the sad thing is right now if I looked at it, Ozzie and KW would probably bring back Timo next year for around the same price.

I don't think there is anyone defending Timo starting. At least not that I've seen.

Not a doubt in my mind we'll bring him back next season.

Timo's hitting .214 and leading off.

 

Okay...I get that.

 

I don't think there is anyone defending Timo starting. At least not that I've seen.

 

There's plenty of people who try to rationalize Timo's extensive playing time on this board.

screw that... Lets give him raise

Since this game is over, they better get their s*** straight for tomorrow. Ozzie better f***ing do something "this this this f***!" This spoiled my night...

 

I can't wait until around 5pm tomorrow when we see Timo is playing again.

That's funny, usually it's Timo giving Ozzie a raise.

Timo is to Ozzie as Hollensworth is to Dusty

Not a doubt in my mind we'll bring him back next season.

 

He'll definately be back. Hopefully it won't be for a significant time as a starter. He's been solid enough as a pinch hitter though. He's no Lenny Harris, but he has some big hits.

I'd take Hollandsworth over Timo in a heartbeat! At least he's fast enough to be a worthy base runner late in the game.

So I just want to check with you real quick. You are endorsing that we play BA correct?

He's been terrible as a pitch hitter this season. His numbers suck in the situations that Hawk and Ozzie think he's amazing at.

I'll contribute to bringing Timo back next year, he can live in my dumpster and I'll lock his ass in there during game time.

The problem with Timo on the roster is that Ozzie thinks that Timo is a super sub. He has more ABs than any of our subs.

 

How can Ozzie play a midget at 1st. He did.

How can Ozzie play Timo as a DH when he cant hit. He did.

How can Ozzie have Timo leadoff with a bad BA, low OBP and an 0-7 lifetime against Lohse. He did.

 

Tomorrow night Timo will leadoff.

 

And for his clutch hits, he had a few times up with men on and what did he do, slap the ball on the ground and GIDP.

So I just want to check with you real quick. You are endorsing that we play BA correct?

 

Absolutely. You can't keep playing a below average player who's slumping. I said it yesterday when the game was called: the worst thing about the game was that Timo just earned himself a handful of starts with his two bloopers. Most bench players that go 5 for 36 get released, not promoted to the leadoff or number 5 spot.

Very rarely do PH numbers impress anybody. Many have said that it is incredibly difficult to pinch hit. Timo has a bunch of big hits, a couple game-winning. This is one situation where Hawk's "don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it applies."

K. Just wanted to check.

And we forget that Timo is slow and also does that one handed hot dog swipe at the ball s*** in LF. I am waiting for the ball to hit him in the junk one day on that. Then Ozzie will cry.

Politte needs to pick it up, his splits so far this month aren't good at all. We need some momentum heading into the bottom of this inning.

Considering how Ozzie likes to rest his starters seemingly every other day, you need a back-up outfielder who can be inserted into the starting lineup and produce. Timo gives you absolutely no offensive contribution.

My line up tomorrow.

 

Iguchi 2B

Uribe SS

Everett LF

Konerko 1B

Dye DH

Rowand CF

AJ C

Anderson RF

Crede 3B

 

Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH.
