QUOTE(joeynach @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Deja vu from last year game 2 of the year. Ozzie left Cotts in to face Jason Micheals who hits LF pitching at something like .400. Micheals hits a gapper into RCF off Cotts late in the game for the tribe to take the lead. Today, Ozzie lets Thornton, a lefty, face Michaels who again dominates against LHP. He hits a double in the RCF gap again for the tying run to score in the 8th. Shocker, sorry Ozzie history repeats itself when ignore it. Thorton>>>>Cotts

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what? I didn't see you say anything befor the move to Thorton, only after he gave up the lead. Why is that?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 03:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> take matt out NOW. MMAC shoulda stayed in... Where were you before the move?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 02:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sports radio tells me Wallace is a lazy bum. Is Sports radio wrong? I'm assuming it is more serious than a sinus infection since he was taken to the hospital for tests. I say sports radio is wrong most of the time.

It is sad when, through 3 games, some of your relievers have more innings pitched than 2 out of 3 of your starters. Very sad.

Who saw it? Was that a bad baserunning play by Uribe, or just luck for the Indians? LET THE LINERS GO THROUGH!!!!!!!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 07:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know its just two games, but so far, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with Erstad (as is everyone else, I assume), in pretty much all aspects of the game. I am more in favor every day of the idea of Erstad taking over LF full-time and Anderson moving into CF, especially if Pods fails to get it moving (though I do think you can't make that move for at least a month, to give Pods a real shot). I concur. Please sit down Pods and bring in Anderson. However, this would mean batting Iguchi 2nd, which I am not in favor of.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Iguchi should be hitting here and NOT bunting. Iguchi f'n blows.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He sucks even more than we thought he did He is who he thought he was. It compells me to report........SUCK.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do not make the 3rd out of an inning at 3rd base. And especially not the 27th out of a game. good call

Double steal? Hit and run?

They are walking Paulie. Setting up a force play/double play.

Good job Erstad

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> f*** it. Just steal. We ain't gett 2 hits in a row. I agree, run, stay out of the double play.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasn't a smart decision to have him bunt. Plus he's not one of our better bunters. It was a good decision. The problem is he should be able to bunt. He is not a middle of the order guy. End of story. Move on to something else. We don't agree.

This is getting good! Lets go THOME!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you watching the game. He had solid contact on his outs one a nice line drive to center. So lets bunt him, so we can put a pinch hitter who sat cold on the bench and prancer. Sure those guys have been known to put wood on the ball. If the man is on first, sure bunt him over. If he is at 2nd, he can score without having an exra base hit, hence the reason to bunt. 1 for 3 before the bunt attempt. EXECUTE THE BUNT! 3rd base one out. Sacrifice fly scores him. EXECUTION! End of story

probably your upper lip

GREAT SUCCESS! Lets go White Sox! RALLY!!!!!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK Hawk. We get your point. I am just sick of this blaming the manager when the players don't execute. I understand there are bad managerial decisions, but come on, the players play the game. All he had to do was bunt, do you want Ozzie to go out and hold his hand for him and show him how it's done? Give me a break.

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's already in scoring position. You don't give up one of your three very valuable outs for minimal benefit, especially with Cintron and Uribe up. If Iguchi executes properly it is runner on 3rd with 1 out. A fly ball ties it. Easier than having to get a hit to score.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You bunt to move a runner into scoring position, which he already was. A single scores him, a bloop scores him, a hit to the right side moves him up. A guy having a great contact day, and you bunt him. Sure thats the basics, the basics of Dusty Baker winning baseball. He was 1 for 3 with a HR. So he didn't strike out, so what? Just because he is making contact means he isn't going to hit it to short or 3B? Give me a break. Execute the freaking bunt because you are a major league player not batting in the middle of the lineup. BAD EXECUTION RIGHT CALL!

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bunting in that situation hurts more than it helps. Explain how? Runner on 2nd, no one out, move him over and knock him in. BASIC! FUNDAMENTALS!

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nice call Oz. Tads can handle the bat well and knock it to the right side but you bunt. and Pods is fukn useless. Good/right call, horribly bad execution. Blame the player for not executing, not the call.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 04:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The 3 run HR and then the grand slam in one game vs Houston was not clutch. Like I said, not for a while now, but a nice rookie season. You wanna keep going or do you wanna read?
