QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:31 AM) Mauer is so dangerous and with hanger Vizzy pitching that's not good. Mauer doesn't miss bad pitches. I would have brought in Jenks here, especially with lefties having a lot of success against Viz this season.

Viz and lack of control = meatball over the plate

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:30 AM) Jesse Crains gets hit hard, so we can hopefully rough him up. Punto a moron, never go to first before the ump calls it. If they score this inning, it will be Nathan.

Come on Viz!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) He just picked a tough hop. Crede is slow, so he had time. Wasn't spectacular, but Web Gem worthy because it saved the game. Exactly

Ok, get Nick c***o out

After watching that replay, it wasn't as tough of a play. Sure, Pablo would have botched it. Good play, but not as tough as it looked at first.

There goes the momentum.

f***! This is definitely vintage Sox vs Twins in August.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:22 AM) I hate the bunt there, just because I think Pierzynski has a better chance of getting a base-hit than either Uribe or Crede do. Come on, Uribe, base-hit right here. Absolutely. You needed a base hit to win the game.

You would think Ozzie would tell these guys to take a pitch? Awful Juan, awful.

All year, in these situations, Uribe has swung at the first pitch and grounded out/into double plays. I hope he has a good AB.

Up to Rowand and Uribe. I actually like Uribe's chances.

Let AJP swing away.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:17 AM) Not at all. Seriously, didn't it seem like he got away with 2 pitches there?

Viz and a fastball!!!! Lets go offense, how about we see more than 6 pitches.

Oh boy, anyone else nervous about these hangers? Two straight that Cuddyer has fouled off.

Holy hanger! Keep the ball down Viz!

Cuddyer scared me earlier, and he scares me right here. It seems like he swings a massive bat (no sexual jokes).

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:11 AM) I cannot recall him EVER doing anything positive in a situation with any sort of pressure at all. That Tigers game in extra innings, where Polanco left like 40 guys on base.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:10 AM) Most of their hits are not even hit hard. Little chip shots. It happens when you don't swing for the fences every pitch.

Viz seems to blow nearly every game in which he comes in like this. We need a double play this inning.

No matter what his numbers say, I hate Viz. No reason in the world to take Cotts out.

This isn't good

s***, I don't trust Viz at all. He's been pretty s***ty in situations like this during the year.
