There's no defending a lot of lineups decisions Ozzie has made this year. It's like he's taken a golden shower on every piece of research about rational lineup construction ever published.

That's Ozzie in a nutshell.

f*** these West Coast games.

There's no defending a lot of lineups decisions Ozzie has made this year. It's like he's taken a golden shower on every piece of research about rational lineup construction ever published.

 

The results, however, speak for themselves. He's taken a batch of s*** offensive players and leads the division with them.

**** Mark Kotsay.

 

One year ago, we had Josh Fields at first and it felt better then Kotsay.

 

It's also the Anniversary of Awesome.

Why the hell does he put back to back left handers 6 and 7? WHY?

 

This is the same guy who batted Mark Kotsay 5th to break the lineup up but won't do it in the 6 and 7 spots. Oh by the way, it's pretty safe to say that A.J. and Kotsay are the worst hitters in the lineup right now outside of Pierre.

Amazing what playing in a mediocre division and getting great pitching will do. That doesn't excuse making stupid lineup decisions.

Luke Scott puts the Orioles on top 3-2.

 

I want this guy on our team.

Scott's really hot right now.

 

They already have Wieters, you can push them to take Flowers but it's back to the same thing, giving up Viciedo for Luke Scott. Pretty obviously, it won't be Danks. And if you're the Orioles, you're probably not going to take a package of players like Morel and Short (just throwing out names) over someone much closert to big league readiness.

There's no way we trade any of our top 5 for Scott, that's why I think he's a good fit. Cheap(er), versatile, and can hopefully keep Quentin healthy.

That has a lot to do with pitching more than it does anything else. There is no justifiable defense for having Kotsay on the roster in favor of a better hitter in for any reason whatsoever.

Ozzie would get so exposed in the AL east.

Well. I didn't think the O's would take any from Minny. That's a nice bonus.

Maybe they can even earn a split now.

They just recently swept Texas in 4 games. Not that surprising.

Viciedo get on the wrong plane or something?

The longer Tank sits the more I think the Sox are getting Dunn.

Getting really tired of seeing Rios hit into double plays. That's 6 since the ASB.

Viciedo get on the wrong plane or something?

Ozzie's hands are tied. Who would possibly dare leave Kotsay out of the lineup the way he's played this year? Talk about clutch.

Excellent 1st inning for Mark.

No shock, Kotsay grinds out to 2nd in his first AB. Quentin looks to be shaken up from stealing 2nd.

Kotsay now 0 for his last 18 but as we just saw: he's hitting the ball right on the button.

The clutch he forgot to press and is why he's unable to shift out of first gear

It's unreal that he's still getting at bats. I can't stand watching him and AJ bat consecutively. Can't we just play Viciedo and Castro?

Apparently not.

I'm starting to think Wise was a more dangerous hitter.
