Well....Ozzieball cost us that inning. I'm confident we can score two more runs this game...but we have to keep Toronto from scoring.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) Cmon ND we can't assume multi talented anderson is gonna make an out every time up. Ummm...actually, it should be the job of the manager to put his team in the best position to win. I hope Ozzie didn't think Anderson had a real good chance against Walker's slider.

Way to go Brian! Enjoy watching tomorrow's game on the bench.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) I assume he screwed up the bunt. At some point a Widger has to execute if he wants to get in any games. I would blame the bunter not the call for the bunt. It was actually a very good bunt. Crede just got a bad secondary lead, and he's so slow. It's another reason why you don't bunt in that situation.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:28 AM) Trying to show confidence in his hitters. Exactly....let Widger swing the bat then. It's too early to be playing for one run. And it's not like Anderson is just having bad luck at the plate. There's a difference between struggling to get a hit....and just swinging the bat poorly.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) Wow - bunting with Anderson on deck. Yep, makes no sense whatsoever.

Wow....we have a slow team.

Is it too early to consider a PH for Anderson if he comes up with 2 guys on?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) If Dye would have hit the cutoff man, Javy might have gotten a DP out of the third hitter.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) How has Anderson sucked today? Score? Inning? Had a pathetic K with the bases loaded in the 2nd, and hit into a DP with them loaded in the 3rd.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) This isn't a second-guess. About 4 batters ago I was wondering why no one was up in the pen. It was clear that Vazquez was struggling. And he's still out there getting hit. I don't get it. I have a ton of confidence in Javy, but on this night he didn't have his stuff. He should've been out of there at 5-4 IMO. If you've seen one Ozzie managed game, you've seen them all. He'll almost always keep that starter in to finish the 5th inning.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) Can someone give me an overview? Inning? Score? Outs? Yeah....Brian Anderson sucks. We should have had a 5 or 6 run lead. Instead, Vazquez is doing his best Garland impersonation from this year.

Great piece of hitting by Glaus. The first of many high earned run games for Vazquez at the Cell.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 02:15 AM) What a horrendues inning/outing for Vazquez. McCarthy coming in soon? McCarthy isn't pitching tonight. If he does, I'll go to the Cell and punch Ozzie in the face.

How many hits can Vaz allow with his curve tonight?

Vaz serving up meatballs to let the Jays back in this game. That curve is just flat tonight.

We're leaving a ton of guys on the bases today. It's great to continue to get runners on, but it would have been nice to give Vaz a bigger cushion.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) Sox now 2 off the league lead in walks. Thank you Mr. Thome

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Nice K by Vazquez. Hillenbrand was seeing him well. Yep, he made a good pitch there. Vaz's curve isn't as sharp as it was last game, but he has better location on his fastball.

Brian Anderson is our best option for CF right now. If he's to be replaced by someone better, it would have to be via trade.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) Griffey? I too hope that is a joke. Not only does he have no range in CF anymore--possibly the worst "every day" CF in the bigs, but he's now an average hitter, and cannot stay on the field at all. If Griffey is an average hitter, I don't want to know what you think about our LF, CF, and SS.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) Wow. This is Brandon Mccarthy part 2 on here. I agree. However, does that mean Anderson needs a stint in the minors to regain his confidence?

Man...that's absolutely pathetic. At least we got 2 runs...but should have been more.

BA- they won't throw you anything inside.

Great job staying on that slider by Crede.
