QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:20 AM) \ I think Hawk knows a little baseball. How do you know our relief corps would have gotten out of the inning. It's easy to second guess, but the game is still tied and we still should win the game. Second guess? There were plenty on here begging for Duque not to start the 8th.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:20 AM) What was the problem leaving Duque in for Bloomquist? He was cruising, and hung a pitch. It happens. Maybe shouldn't have left him in for Ibanez, but I see no reason why he shouldn't pitch to Bloom... Duque is not the type of pitcher to go 8 innings. The more the other team sees him, the more they get used to his delivery. We have a guy in our bullpen who hasn't allowed a run in nearly 20 outings.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:19 AM) Usually Ozzie is obsessed with getting his players a win but I don't get that move. He is not a complete game pitcher. Use the bullpen, thats what its there for. Exactly. Ozzie doesn't trust our bullpen. I've been saying it for the last two months now. Cotts/Cliff/Hermanson/Jenks deserve the right to get the last 6 outs of a game for this team to win. We're not the Diamondbacks where we need the starting pitcher to go as many innings as possible.

Good at-bat AJP

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:16 AM) We're still gonna win (knock on wood) and Oz's faith in El Duque may pay off when it counts ... in the playoffs! I heard Hawk say that big picture comment, and that's absolutely ridiculous. You need to make the playoffs before you can start planning the playoffs. If we were to lose this game tonight, a 7 game lead isn't a sure thing.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:16 AM) Ozzie's end of game management lately has been ridiculous. Wait, lately? . . . . Lets just say it's a good thing there was the warning yesterday about swearing about a player/coach.

I can't believe Torrealba has scored 3 runs against us tonight.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:14 AM) I fathom Is that sarcasm?

Well...it's a brand new game. Good job Duque...you should have never been out there that inning.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:13 AM) I'm sick of Ozzie's s***. This s*** will happen in the playoffs too. Well done. He pulls this crap too often, and we wont make the playoffs.

He's keeping him in? Are you f'n serious? Even if he gets Ibanez out here, this is terrible managing.

What more does Cotts have to do Ozzie to get you to use him?

f***, left him in one batter too long. BAD CALL OZZIE!

No matter what, this is the last batter for Duque.

Where's Crede when the Mariners need a dropped foul ball?

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:09 AM) Whats his pitch count? Basically 100

That should be it for Duque. I don't get the point of letting Duque face someone who took such a great swing against him last time. Where's Cotts???

I always get a little annoyed when I see Marte warming up instead of Cotts. Poor Neal! Keep it going Duque.

Yep, Duque's starting. I don't like the move...but who cares what I say. I just trust Cotts getting thru an inning scoreless more than I do with Duque.

Duque's starting the 8th, isn't he? I don't like the Duque vs Reed match-up, and Reed's been flirting with a double in his at-bats tonight.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) agreed...with politte and jenks backing him I'd go with Cotts in the 8th...and hopefully Jenks in the 9th. I don't want Hermanson going three straight games.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) Great job be El Duque so far, ever since he came off the DL hes been nothing but money. Hes been doing better now than he has the whole season. He's thrown the ball much better than his results would dictate....basically the complete opposite to how it was before the injury.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:56 AM) Hows that crow?? It tastes fantastic!

I'd go with Cotts starting the 8th inning.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:55 AM) blums been a godsend for us defensively. But what about Bellhorn???????????????????
