Well that's about when I realized it. Last year was my first about face on Ozzie since he's been here.

yeah normally i've agreed with ozzie but running him out there all the time was insane

Might as well just trade Nix for a minor league arm or something, because if Beckham gets hurt, Omar will be starting over him.

didn't ozzie kind of hint at not wanting him or lillibridge during spring training?

A base hit here would be awesome as Carlos advances on a wild pitch.

My goodness their stadium is empty.

f***...time to watch the bulls.

He looks like Johan out there. Taking strikes, swinging at pitches 2 feet off the plate isn't a good recipe for a winner.

f***...time to watch the bulls.

beat me to the punch haha

I don't think we are going to get a hit.

Yes, and as we know with Ozzie, if he doesn't really like someone, they're basically worthless on the roster.

A great offense still wouldn't be able to do much with Romero tonight, but I know they wouldn't be getting no-hit with 8 strikeouts in 4 innings. This is what's gonna happen to us this year when we face really good pitching. Verlander is going to frustrate the hell out of us this year

a better approach at the plate might help...

gavin needs a quick 1-2-3 here

It's pretty obvious that Nix needs to be in AAA getting regular at-bats (if he's not claimed by another team...which is unlikely) because Ozzie's almost always going to go with Kotsay, Jones and Vizquel over the younger player.

Nix is out of options, he can't be sent down. I wouldn't mind seeing him moved for a lefty-arm, he's a guy that deserves to play 2nd somewhere, and with Beckham's era just getting started, he's not going to get that chance. I'd ship him off, call up Retherford, and DFA RAANDNDNY!!!

Our first hit will be Andruw Jones in to of the 5th.

Before last year, we crushed Verlander. And he hasn't looked very good at all thus far against Cleveland and Kansas City. If he gets fastball happy, we can murder him.

 

Although with the way the offense has been this season...

i agree retherford was stroking the ball yesterday against Norfolk.....and i never did like the AAA Williams

Be interesting if anyone picks up Thome's role as the Verlander-killer, as well as Pods role as the Greinke-killer

s*** 2 on for gonzalez

All I know is wsox pitching has walked Bautista 3 times too many.

Forget about the years where we crushed Verlander, last year showed that he learned how to use his secondary pitches ahead in counts, IMO he turned into a new pitcher last year

 

Gavin 80+ in 3.2 IP

He has quite the potty mouth too after that swing and a miss!

 

Keeping us in the game..hitters need to have a better game plan against Romero.

The chat is better than this thread could ever imagine.

If someone doesn't look first-pitch curveball this inning I'm turning the game off, no excuse for that s***.

a little consistancy from this douche nozzle behind the plate would be nice...
