Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That's just sad. This is a huge game and Ozzie has a AAA player batting during a possible game changing moment. If Owens deserved to hit there, then they should have called him up a long time ago. At least during a time when he was eligible for the postseason.

kjshoe04 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) How Jose Valentin is in 10th place is beyond my knowledge. I know he hit 20, 25 homers each year, but he was only hear for 5 years. Just shows how much times have changed with the home run. My thoughts exactly. Also in his few years here JD is second in career slugging % and 4th in career ops as a white sock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had Timo Perez because at least he didn't suck this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I wonder how pissed off at the umpires Hawk would be if one of the Indians missed getting hit by a pitch by as far as Ramirez did and they let him take a base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Jerry Owens has to be the weakest 6'3" hitter in the game. His inability to generate ANY strength with that frame disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
