fathom Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 11:35 PM) I am really looking forward to tomorrow, when we start seeing the September callups. Anything to get Erstad and Gonzalez off the field. We'll still see them on the field, guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) Erstad? After seeing the ABs by Pauly, JD, and AJ, why would you worry about what Darrin did? Because it's just pointless for him to be playing as much as he is. It's like Ozzie tries to find openings for Erstad to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what purpose Darrin has on this team besides keeping a few of our DL members company a few times a year. Erstad is a goddamn shadow starter. Ozzie puts him out there every single night, and rotates players out so he can get one of his toys in the lineup.

As long as that bad guy doesnt have his option picked up, and then is named a starter in CF next year out of ST. Then it doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Why when you have a super pull hitter like Uribe, would you allow him to open his stance up. Thats like putting out a fire with gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harder to do a pirouette in a wide stance. Hrniak had him do a leg kick thing that worked in 05. it kept him closed and helped him step towards the pitchers plate. Since that worked, we have tried a spread stance, nothing, and now opening it up. why do something that worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) Carmona is nasty. I'd take him over any of our starters. It's funny, though, how Williams approach to drafting pitchers has seemingly concentrated on those who can induce groundballs, and here is Carmona -- a perfect representation of that -- pitching for Cleveland. It must be mocking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 It's a good thing I don't care, as that 8th inning was one of the worst meltdowns and managing I've ever seen. Ozzie did a great job of having Logan ready to face Lofton. Just release Mike Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I should add, and this is quite significant to the argument, his salary is a deciding factor. I'm not judging him compared to our starters in a everything-being-equal type scenario; just within the present. It underscores a point that having production from someone such as Carmona out of the rotation is invaluable. Compare their statistics. For a difference in 9 million, who would you take?
