QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 8, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) He was ahead in the count to Sweeney 1-2 and threw 3 straight balls. That's just missing your spots not pitching around a guy. It was pitching careful to him because you can't let Mike beat you, period. Shingo's been pretty damn good as of late, the thing is most closers make things interesting before they shut the door. Shingo's 8 for 9 in save opps and he's been fine as of late, I have no problem with Hermey or shingo closing, it just bothers me when ozzie uses more then 1 pitcher in the 9th, however in saying that it has seemed to work every time so I have nothing to complain about as of right now.

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) Does anyone else remember Bajenaru's brief stint for us last year? It was ugly. It wasn't ugly at all. His era was high but nothing was hit hard, Baj knows how to pitch, period. I just think it's dumb period to bring up another reliever we can't find enough innings as it is for these guys.

Get better Greg, that was scary.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) Neal is always going to walk guys. Afterall, in the minors, he walked about five guys per nine. But he's always been able to fool hitters and strikeout hitters. Over 11 per nine. Which is (somewhat) able to negate his erratic control. Walks or no walks, he's better than anything we have at Charlotte. I've stated this before about Neal, the guy needs to start his own inning. The first hitter he faces he always has trouble throwing strikes, after that first hitter he's absolutely lights out.

This makes 0 sense to me. We already can't find enough innings for the pitchers we have, why the hell bring Walker up?? I'm stumped.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) Pedro gets another chance, giving Iguchi a much needed day off. I like it. He certainly deserves it.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:53 AM) Well I disagree... He didn't trust Pods enough to play CF when Mr No Range was there friday and he was still sitting in LF. That's just completely wrong. Ozzie has kept his subs in the same spots instead of moving guys around this whole year, that's just how he's doing things.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ May 8, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) Then he defended Ozzie, saying the media didn't report the circumstances of the Magglio rant, that Ozzie just responded to what reporters had brought to him. That's what has been bothering me about the whole situation. The media has failed to mention how this whole thing started, it was Mags, not ozzie. People who don't know the whole situation like we do are only getting half the story and that's not right.

Not pretty but hell, winning pretty ain't our forte. HELL YEAH

WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

Viz a little rusty, kind of to be expected.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) 99% sure he can't get one... Correct.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) Viz just wanted a save. OH MY GAWD, WAT A PLAY

Woops.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) He was decent for us last year before he got hurt. That's a fact, Jack. Haha, I win.

Groundball to Juan, 1 down.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) I doubt a guy with a career 5.17 ERA has good numbers as a starter. He was very good for us last year starting before he went down.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Not really. Not when he was healthy. Man, your beating me to the punch with everything today.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Yep. Starter Schoeney sucks ass. Shoney's attitude bothered me but he was great before he went down with an injury last year.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) Who is this guy and what did he do with Shoney? This is the bullpen shoney.

2 up, 2 down on k's.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) Kannapolis @ Lake County Russell throwing 5 innings with 0 hits. 4-0 so far. Live Box Score You jinx.

Good pitch by Scott there gets Iguchi down swinging.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Just yanking your chain there. You just wanted that 14000 post, congrats And stop yelling at me.

Shoney in.
