kwolf68 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) Seriously, Bard was just nasty. Very few big leaguers would even get a foul ball in that at bat. Really. Sometimes the pitcher is just better. Hell, even Ted Williams was 'bad' almost 60% of the time during his .400 season. People need to keep things in perspective. If Beckham misses consistent meatballs and can't do anything with ordinary pitching that is one thing, but DONT DUMP on him when someone does to him what Bard did... it indicates you never have played and/or understand the game of baseball.

WHITESOXRANDY Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 To be fair, at that point the Sox didn't look like the kind of team that was going to spend enough to be able to keep AGon long term Now we know that may have been the case, but it was tough to judge back then. What would cause anyone to believe the AGon would even want to sign with the Sox ? Even if they outbid everyone. Lots of players would rather sign with another organization and I don't blame them.

Eh... I guess you're right. I guess hindsight is 20/20... or 50/50... or however that stupid f***ing saying goes. Dammit I just want my team to win.

Omar Vizquel as a defensive replacement, but pinch hitting with him? I am rapidly losing faith in Ozzie...the Rios situation really was the cherry on top. I think it may be time for a totally new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typewritermender Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Why not just play Flowers at first? Isn't he a 1B? Feel like Oz shoulda done that from the beginning.
