QUOTE(gettysburg32 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:05 AM) don't worry shingo will walk em anyway That's the thing though, Ozzie has even said that Shingo is much better against righties. Yet, he lets him face a lefty who's been swinging the bat great this year instead of putting Logan on and trying to get Inge to hit into a DP. It's the little things of the game which Ozzie really struggles with.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:04 AM) you can't really fault ozzie much for bringing shingo in. I mean, there aren't really many alternatives Politte has thrown the ball so much better than Shingo this year. Seriously, Shingo's fastball is in the low 80s at times now.

I hate how we keep pitching to guys with an empty base when a double play would get us out of the inning.

Good call Ozzie bringing in a pitcher who's just as likely to give up runs as he is to get guys out.

We need to have our outfield play shallow here with Logan up.

Shingo just threw a 79 mph fastball.

What does Politte have to do to get Ozzie's confidence?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) I understand that but I would never do that and take Carl out....you have to be a little instinctive there. Seeing how we have played all evening, there was a huge chance we would not score more than one if any....bad move by Ozzie....and I said it before the inning was over so there is no 20/20 here Obviously I'm no Ozzie fan, but that was the right move to pr Ozuna there.

Shingo's in

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:56 AM) Man we are a sad bunch....literally begging for one run How the fock will we score against ace pitchers if we get to the playoffs If this team got to the playoffs, they could score 0 runs the entire series and I'd be happy with the season.

We have PK, Rowand, and Timo up next inning. Who's coming in for us?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:55 AM) His wrist is still hurting. Is it confirmed that it is his wrist?

I have more confidence in Widger to hit the ball hard than almost anyone else. Give 'em hell Widger!

It's Widger time!

Back to back times that Willie and Pod have hit the ball weakly into the air.

He had a good AB going there also. Willie needs to learn how to foul off tough pitches to keep an AB going.

Come on Willie, hit the ball on the ground!

It's too bad "Sac Fly" Uribe wasn't healthy enough to bat for Dye before.

The honest question I have for people on here is this with Timo: Do you believe the Sox are better off with him on the roster now, or would they be better off with either a middle infielder or a righty bench player with some power?

Good job that inning by Hermanson overcoming leadoff single.

15 team LOB today, 8 with RISP.

Good pitch by Hermanson.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:39 AM) You just love cake. One minute you're asking for him to PH for Dye. He DOES PH for Dye, and now you're b****ing b/c he was up for Dye. No, that was the right move by Ozzie. He put the guy who's supposed to be the best ph on the team up for a guy who's massively struggling. It's not Ozzie's fault that Timo was trying to hit a 3 run homer instead of a sac fly. I never said Timo shouldn't be up though.

Ozzie leaving in another pitcher for a 2nd full inning. How often does this not work?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:38 AM) We got 1 run. Yeah, we would have been quite pissed off if we didn't score any runs that inning
