QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:21 AM) 93 pitches I'm sorry but 90% of managers don't pull their starter after 93 pitches in the 8th after giving up 2 runs. When they just went through an inning in which he had to battle his ass off to only allow 2 runs....they definitely do. It's not like Contreras is a pitcher that goes a lot of innings on a frequent basis.

Crap, here we go again. Ozzie is absolutely clueless. Even DJ sounds pissed off about him staying in this game.

Remember....the big picture folks!

This is definitely a game where it seems we should be up 8-2. AND CONTRERAS IS BACK IN THE GAME!!!! Mercy Ozzie....trust the bullpen for once.

Way to give the Mariners all the momentum in this game. We try to get way too cute sometimes.

What the hell is that? The terrible execution continues.

I predict we see a squeeze here. Ozzie has to know the chances of Uribe hitting the ball against Nelson are poor.

Nelson in to face Uribe. Be aware....these swings by Uribe might cause you to spit your drink out.

Who is this right fielder we have? Mercy, have yourself a game Dye!

Dye's very close to hitting for the cycle tonight.

AJP needs the day off tomorrow.

Good job by Contreras....now pull him Ozzie!!!!

The runner would have been out no matter what. He was way inside of the base path.

Whew....good play!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:01 AM) I don't understand why you have to give up runs and get into a lot of trouble for Ozzie to yank you. He's exactly the opposite with relief pitchers. Contreras deserved the right to try and get out of this inning without allowing a run. However, any time you let 4 out of 5 hitters reach base in the late innings, you should be pulled.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 04:00 AM) Bed = s***. This guy's ridiculous. Looks like Cy Young, turns into a little girl. I'm still scratching my head over the Beltre 0-2 pitch. We've been destroying Beltre all season with the offspeed pitch outside.

Pull him.

Man, why would you throw the inside fastball on an 0-2 pitch? All of his pitches have been tailing inside this inning? Now, we face a guy who's swinging out of his ass every AB.

DJ's just begging for the jinx.

Big pitch Count!!!

This got real interesting real fast.

And just like that, Contreras is in trouble. Ozzie should get the bullpen up and running sooner than later.

Just worry about the batter Contreras.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 03:49 AM) I love Carl from the right!!!! I know, it's shocking...cause he used to seem so clueless from that side of the plate. Maybe he went back and watched video footage from the HR derby a few years ago when he batted righty, and gave Corky a run for his money.

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd rather see Everett bat righty than lefty. His swing seems to be a lot shorter from that side of the plate.
