QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 11:18 PM) Ozzie has no clue. Really. It's so embarrassing. Just like him leaving in Liney last year at Wrigley, this is laughable. His in game decisions with pitchers are probably the WORST in baseball- and I don't think I am exaggerating here And now he's also in charge of personnel decisions.

BTW, no home runs in 147 at bats last season against LHP for Cabrera. We're going to lose this game.

Dear Ozzie...when the wind is blowing out to right, and you can flip a hitter over to the right side, make the f***ing move. Of course, Thornton's also significantly better than Peavy. What a dumbass.

And we're tied. FIRE OZZIE! That's one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

Another hard hit ball right at a Sox defender.

Ugh, this is just stupid. It was obvious he was fatigued in the 7th.

I'm sure he's had prettier 3 hit games, but we'll take it from Peavy. Much better!

Ugh, another walk by Peavy. Time to go the pen.

AJ, nice throw!!

Peavy struggling to throw strikes. Should be Thornton time soon.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:57 PM) I'm unable to watch the game since my Fox game is the Mets game but Gameday is showing that Peavy is getting squeezed big time this inning. Not that I've seen

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) has peavy been getting squeezed this game? gameday makes it look that way. yes he has

Peavy's beginning to lose his command it appears.

Yep, credit to Ozzie for putting Jones in motion.

That a boy Rios! He's making great contact today.

Way to hit the ball to the left side on a hit and run, Mr. Baseball IQ

Nice hit by Andruw there. Let's see if AJP can get one into the wind.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) Did you play the game because you have all the answers. That pitch looked hittable then had good late movement. Exactly, it was a sinker. Quentin's a smart guy, he had to know that was coming.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) that was a f***ing nasty pitch. Jesus Yes it was, about time he got that call. These announcers are begging to jinx our relievers.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) The sinker wasnt low and in, go back and watch the pitch. Its right down the middle and if CQ had the approach of trying to hit it in the air, would have easily done so. The pitch was easily hittable and should have been put in the air. It wasnt in the dirt or anything, it was slightly below CQ's knees. Slightly below the knees from a sinker ball pitcher is going to result in a ground ball almost all the time, especially with someone like Quentin.

Peavy has the "at 'em ball" working

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Fathom, How do we know that the gameplan isnt "Westbrook throws easy to hit pitches early in the count, we have to jump on him" That wasnt a great pitch, when do our hitters start to actually produce? All CQ has to do is hit the ball in the air, that should have been his #1 priority. The pitch location was down the middle and sinking, CQ has to do better than beating it into the ground. Westbrook pitched around Beckham to set up the double play. First pitch is a low and in sinker, and Quentin chased it. If that was our game plan to chase the low and in sinker, then Walker should be fired immediately. Westbrook isn't going to strike you out, so the game plan should be "make him get the pitch up in the zone".

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) CQ has had like 2 good games and 10 s***ty ones this year. That's not going to work from your 3 hole hitter. He's more of a 5 hole hitter now. He's not a good overall hitter. In an ideal world, Beckham would be the #3 hitter. But you know what, in the scheme of things, Quentin isn't going to make or break this season.

Screw that, Quentin has to be smarter than that. STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH! Our hitters continue to play right into the opposition's game plan. That's something Walker deserves criticism for.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) If Ozzie is smart, he'd run with Beckham here to avoid the DP. Completely agree, if not, a DP is like a 50% possibility
