I can't imagine he gets canned over this. The Marlins knew he was going to say stupid things when they traded for him. Maybe not this stupid but it'll blow over when he makes his next moronic statement. Nobody should take his musings seriously.
LOT of Cubans in that area man. They are not going to forget. I seriously cannot believe that he was stupid enough to say that, especially when that team is trying to sell tickets to a brand new stadium.
Yeah, I lived there for a year. It isn't called little Havana for nothing. Still, any baseball fan - even the Cuban ones - knows Ozzie says dumb crap all the time and his opinion/thoughts are completely worthless. Unless this impacts their ticket sales I don't see him going anywhere.
They mentioned that on the Saturday night telecast, it's not too big of an issue in daily leagues as Gardner not playing vs. lefties and you playing someone else is probably better than starting Gardner. Weekly though, yea, that's an issue.
Curious to see how it plays out.I don't know if "Ozzie being Ozzie" or "you knew what you were getting" really applies here. I assure you the Marlins and Miami fans would never, in a million years, have thought Ozzie was dumb enough to say that.
I figured it was retaliation for beaning Prince in the leg Saturday.
Start him, the Tigers struggled vs. the only pitcher in the same class as Moore (Lester) last week. The poundings came against average-to-bad pitchers, of which there aren't many of in Tampa.
Beckett is not average to bad
Above average ability, but not in product, I wouldn't want him as anything more than my #3 on a young team in need of a veteran presence.Beckett is not average to bad
He had a 1.02 WHIP last year, you're nuts.Above average ability, but not in product, I wouldn't want him as anything more than my #3 on a young team in need of a veteran presence.Beckett is not average to bad
Define, luck.Career vs. 2011BABIP - 289 vs. 245LOB% - 72 vs. 80GB% - 44 vs. 40HR/FB - 11 vs. 9.5H/9 - 8.3 vs. 6.8He's a 4 ERA pitcher that has only gone north of 200 IP's once in the last four years. That's not a top of the rotation arm. He's average with stuff to be better, but just isn't. I have thoughts as to why but it's just speculation relating to him not really caring about being a great ball player. Probably won't find out one way or the other until his days in baseball are done unfortunately. Or if there's another September meltdown...
Oh no!I thought it was classy of Magic to call him before anyone once his group bought the team. Get well Vin!
LOL
Going to go on for another 162 as well. Shields doesn't turn 31 till December.

draysbay: #rays have used only 13 different starting pitchers since 2008, fewest in the majors.
and Francoeur just walked on four pitches. The end is near.
So did Alex Gordon! WoohooO!
And the Angels were running at will on him and Mauer.
I never thought he'd see many left handers but he hasn't started a game since Sunday. Belt sure hasn't helped his own case with two consecutive slow starts.
Seriously? Its 13 PAs so far this year. That brings small sample size to a new meaning.'Eephus said:
This feels like there has to be something more going on here.Clearly, Bochy doesn't believe in him long-term (and obviously not short-term), but this feels personal. Have any locals seen Belt out with Bochy's wife?
The coaching staff doesn't like Belt's approach vs. lefties, have told him about it, and he hasn't fixed it. This reaks of stubbornness all around.
Dump?
