Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wise should be cut lose with a picture of his catch. Beckham should hit 2nd. Ramirez should drop to 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Why couldn't Kapler have just hit that ball 20 feet shorter last Thursday? It's going to be frustrating when Fields is traded tonight and Wise stays on the roster. My problem with Wise isn't that he's a bad player... It still irritates me how he complained about getting boo'ed after he came back from injury. I can't stand players who make excuses for their s***ty play. Instead of saying, "You know, it's tough to come back after being injured." Be a man and admit you suck and say something like, "I know I've been struggling and it is my fault. I'm gonna do nothing but work my ass off to get better." He's got a decent set up at the plate, some pop, is very fast, and a solid defender. I would have no problem with him as a late inning replacement in CF or LF and pinch runner. I got no problem with a player like him on the bench. But he has no business starting if someone isn't injured or needs a day off. But because of his attitude and making excuses for his sucky-ness, I wan't him off the team.

StrangeSox Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:33 PM) even if KW wanted to trade him for anything i dont think anyone would even consider giving up a single A player to get him Maybe the Kane County Cougars will buy his contract?

fathom Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Mauer does a great job with his pitch selection to our hitters. He plays off of situations and has a great feel for when our hitters are going to be trying to do too much at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSmoky2 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) We need to trade Wise for some grass seed. He's not even worth a bag of balls. Roger Bossard would not allow that level of grass seed anywhere near U.S. Cellular Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not producing, yet Ozzie seemingly wants to find ways to get him into the lineup. He's OMIT, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays off of situations and has a great feel for when our hitters are going to be trying to do too much at the plate. Which would be from the 7th inning on in every game. Not too hard to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) He's going to bat leadoff tomorrow I'm just curious does wise have the lowest batting average for all hitters this yr? if not i'd hate to be a fan of the team that does no....there are quite a few people with more at bats with lower averages Casilla .160 Cedeno .170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wise should have one role, replace pods or Q in the 9th. Id like to thank Getz for winning this game for the Twins with his oops I went the wrong way on a groundball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 More of the same. Kick the ball around a bit, walk some people, swing for the fences, and hit nothing. When play 2 of your rivals and you drop 5 out of 6 kicking the ball, you don't deserve to be in the race. Typical late July early August choke job by the sox.

Harry Chappas Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This is what happens when you can not hit or field. Sadly I think it is time for Walker's name to come up again in conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
