southsideirish71 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) Buerhle needed to be lifted. If Ozzie brought in a lefty and Derek Lee came to the plate, how dumb would everyone have called that move? The guy up is a switch hitter. You bring in a guy that is right handed, forcing the hitter to switch to the left side anad he cant get out lefties. To say this was anything but a dumb move is beyond me.

Pagan is hitting .412 with 2 homers in 17 ABs vs. LHP so far against lefties and hitting .600 against righties. If MacDougal isn't ever going to be able to get out LH hitters, the Sox are in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its seems that every lefty looks like a Joe Mauer in a groove against him. While righties look like Rob Mackowiak. I would rather face Mack insteda of Mauer. But hey maybe Ozzie's magic 8 bal knows a lot more than stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been a fan of Ozzie, but if Buerhle was left in, or Thornton was brought in or Aardsma or Logan or anyone else, if Pagan got a hit, and he's basically scorching everything right now, Ozzie would have been a dufus.
