SoxFan1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm watching the pre-game interview now with Ozzie discussing his managing style and commenting on those polls. God do I love the Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Did they just poll Peavy 100 times? I'm not a fan of Ozzie, but players should love to play for him. This is just a stupid survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 A bit concerning, seeing as how the other two are good in-game managers (though I haven't watched a Pineilla team in a while), while Ozzie seems to be a club house manager. I've like how Ozzie seems to know when to put all the crap on himself and off the team, but he leaves a lot to be desired in managing the games. Oddly enough, in the 2005 playoffs I thought he managed it brilliantly but that's probably just because every piece fell into place for 12 games.

EvilJester99 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 These polls are a joke.....most times the writers are just trying to stir up s*** with stupid polls like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 'There is a topic discussing this poll here: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72648 Could anyone elaborate on what Ozzie said? I'm kinda curious to his comments he has against all the players who said they wouldn't play for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 it's a poll in sports illustrated. allegedly 380 players voted. Couldn't vote for your own guy. Piniella worst. Ozzie second. LaRussa third. For my money, Mike Scioscia it the best manager in the game. Dusty Baker has to be in any discussion of the worst -- unless Terry Bevington makes a comeback. Whatever happened to Bevo?

mr_genius Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 06:19 PM) Whatever happened to Bevo? last i heard he was managing in the minors or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Its not a good indication when the guys who actually play for the managers can't vote for their guy. Torre ranked high on both ends. Apparently, a lot of players are freaked out about being expected to perform and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
