May 31, 201015 yr Anyone up for an awesome Jayson Nix-James Shields feud? You might just get it. "Shields was miffed when he saw Nix flip his bat in the sixth inning, and he threw the next pitch high and tight to Alexei Ramirez. "This guy is doing a bat-flip, kind of pimping the home run a little bit," said Shields, the cousin of former Sox outfielder Aaron Rowand. "That's just sometimes the way it happens. I guess when you hit a game-winning grand slam, I guess you can do that." http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...omparisons.html Edited May 31, 201015 yr by Thunderbolt
May 31, 201015 yr Nix's bat flip was clearly a heat of the moment thing, IMO. Nix is a 3rd string backup infielder right now not even hitting his weight. I doubt he really wanted to show anyone up. But I can easily see why a pitcher can get pissed in that situation during the game.

Jason rarely gets to play, especially against right handers. He has a great at bat, hits a freaking Grand Slam to put his team back in the lead after the Rays had just tied the game, and he's not allowed to throw the bat down when he crushes a pitch into the seats? Get over yourself, James.

The bat flip could've been much worse. I think Shields is just a little pissed he got rocked.
May 31, 201015 yr I hope the next time Jayson hits a grand slam against James Shields, he throws the bat as high up into the air as he can, does a riverdance, runs backwards to 1B, and grabs his junk repeatedly on the way around. Shields is blowing this completely out of proportion. He was the one that hit Crisp in Spring Training a couple years ago to start that brawl too, wasn't he?
May 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) I'd be up for Nix playing a lot more than Teahen. God help me
May 31, 201015 yr It's because I think Teahen is just another version of Nix. A utility player. Teahen is no good.
May 31, 201015 yr JPN stating over in the FS forum, that the Charlotte announcers mentioned Lillibridge was "removed" from the Charlotte roster, but that its "not a bad thing". Can't be sure what that means, but its possible Teahen is hitting the DL and Lillibridge is heading up.

Can't be sure what that means, but its possible Teahen is hitting the DL and Lillibridge is heading up. That's exactly what it sounds like. The only other possibility is Gordo going down.
May 31, 201015 yr What is wrong with Teahen? It surely didn't look like anything serious, nothing more than a cut or maybe a bad jammed finger.
May 31, 201015 yr Wouldn't that be funny if Beckham was sent down for freaking Lillibridge? Not gonna happen.
June 1, 201015 yr I look forward to seeing an infield of Jason Nix, Brent Lillibridge, Omar Vizquel and Mark Kotsay... if I wasn't afraid that Ozzie might do it for a week straight.

I sure hope we get a chance to see Nix everyday in the lineup. Although he really isn't going to hit for any kind of average, he can launch and can add some real nice pop at the bottom of the lineup. On the other hand, Teahen has been hitting a little better as of late. I don't get why Ozzy doesn't try more of a platooning situation w/ Nix and Teahen during lefty righties, because Nix has the capability of hitting 20-25 homeruns in a season.
June 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2010 -> 07:55 PM) How can you look forward to seeing Omar playing instead of anybody? It wasn't so much sarcasm, as it was an admission of what Ozzie is likely to do, but yeah, i want Nix to play.
