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???????????????????

Haha...wasn't that the typical play where Crede dives in front of Uribe for no reason?

Yes...that was me saying I didn't think Anderson had a chance against Felix. I've never been so happy to be completely wrong.

I've been more impressed with Anderson's swings tonight than I have in a long time with our other center fielder.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:52 AM) I thought it was on a curveball that he hung in the zone, but I'm not 100% sure on that. No, it was a fastball.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:50 AM) brian anderson, you just made a name for yourself in the big leagues congrats PODS WHO?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:50 AM) That's the 2nd breakin ball he's hit for a homer tonight. Very, very good signs. I thought first homer was on a low fastball.

The bench is definitely pumped up. This is a huge inning coming up for Duque.

HOLY s***!

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:47 AM) He does act like Freddy. That same walk to the dugout,the way he catches the ball and the look on his face. So he's always going to look unhappy?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) You bother playing because you hope it is a night when he throws a few fastballs down the middle and you get lucky and hit a couple of them like BA and Torrealba. Otherwise they have no chance. I agree. All I know is we're going to have to find a way to win a game or two against these types of pitchers that we're not supposed to have a chance against. At least the Indians have to face Santana next weekend. I'm sick of them facing guys with ERAs over 6.50.
