3-2 change-up has to be coming.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Buehrle was kept in there to keep Patterson from stealing second. There was 2 outs...who cares! But thanks, you basically admitted that Francona schooled Ozzie.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) You can't pinch hit Manny for Kotsay because nobody else would be able to play 1B. Teahen

Lillibridge needs to be running for AJP. We have Flowers on the bench in case Castro gets accused of a crime.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) Martinez vs. Buehrle - .872 OPS in 62 PAs Martinez vs. Thornton - .825 OPS in 21 PAs I'd rather have Thornton in there, fresh. I'd rather Linebrink was in there, and play the percentages. It was obvious to everyone but the dumbass making the decision that Buehrle was out of gas.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) This is the major problem of having a manager who doesn't care about statistics. While they are not always the end all be all, they tell you a hell of a lot. BUT BUEHRLE PITCHED FOR THE 2005 TEAM!

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) OK Ozzie Pinella, hows about we don't let Buehrles arm fall off while we're at it... Hopefully he calls someone a derogatory name after tonight's game and isn't even allowed to get on the flight to Detroit.

BTW, VMart has an OPS almost 550 points higher against LHP than RHP. FIRE OZZIE!

120 pitches, falling behind everyone, being bailed out by defense = GET HIM THE f*** OUT OF THE GAME!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Really wish Buehrle was out of this game. Just have a bad feeling that he's bound to let Martinez get one up by the monster. Awful Ozzie, AWFUL!

Really wish Buehrle was out of this game. Just have a bad feeling that he's bound to let Martinez get one up by the monster.

Hell of a play Omar!! Beckham has to learn to jump the hell out of the way. Kalish trying to destroy the career of every promising young AL player.

3-2 Twins after 2

Big strike out...I love the bunt!

I'll gladly exchange the out for Kalish going to 2nd here.

Ugh, it's time to pull Buehrle. McDonald has been all over him today.

Twins with bases loaded, no outs in bottom of 2nd. Looks like C.J. Wilson isn't long for that game.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) Ozzie is a f***ing moron if he called that Quentin steal. Of course he did...he's been doing it since 2004. 2 outs late in the game and runner on 1st....he calls for a steal.

Credit to Quentin for not trying to do too much on that pitch. Ozzieball with the token caught stealing though.

HOLY COW, what a break!

Can someone with the strike zone graphic on game cast determine how many strike outs have been on pitches out of the zone?

Just a miserable game for Konerko. He's not even swinging...it's more like he's trying to guide the bat through the zone.

If PK swings the way he has all game, he has no prayer against Bard. PK has to just serve that slider to right field.

Give Rios the 3-0 green light

Rangers tied the Twins!
