I blame the players just as much as Ozzie. Is it Ozzie's fault that Marte can't throw strikes? Is it Ozzie's fault that Jenks gave Boone a perfect pitch to hit? Yes, Ozzie could have managed the matchups better, but its the pitchers fault just as much as his.
of course the players are always to blame for a loss. but ozzie is the "manager" of the team.. he sent in the guys who he "thought" were good for the matchups. he has to wake up and realize that most pitchers can pitch against righties and lefties.. why not bring politte instead of a crappy marte? amazing.. :banghead :banghead :banghead
