QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) Yeah, I speak it. Apparently Ozzie doesn't (hardy har har). Seriously, I couldn't get a concrete idea WTF he was talking about; didn't sound sensible. What was "decided in Spring training?" That he wouldn't exceed the 8th inning? I mean...??? lol Ozzie decided in spring training (made the decision during spring training) that THIS YEAR, they would protect Buehrle's arm by limiting how many pitches he throws in games he starts I'm not quite sure how someone who speaks english can't understand this

I woulda rather had Buehrle out in the 9th too (i said it in this thread) but if Ozzie said earlier this year that they were gonna start protecting Buehrle's arm from 100+ pitch outings then whatever, that's something they think they need to do Pierre and Thornton combined are killing this teams chances to win in the 9th inning

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:26 PM) Well, that's going to pay off when Ozzie's in Florida next year. What does what you just said have to do with Rongey being an apologist? Just trying to put 2 & 2 together here.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Um... what??? English m'fer, do you speak it?

FYI you kids who think Rongey is being an apologist, Ozzie said in the post-game that he wasn't going to let Mark pitch because he has to protect him this year and the decision was made this spring. Food for thought

How come every year this roster gets tight ass when there's even the slightest sense of urgency or adversity? Games against the twins last year, now just a f***ing save situation or close 9th inning game. It's bulls***

maybe a loss tonight will force ozzie's hand.

Morel has a lot to learn. Like the odds of an 0-2 pitch being hittable is pretty slim. Take a pitch, slick.

Pierre is a f***ing bench player at this point. Honestly, he's not even that. He's a worthless roster spot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) AGAIN?!?! That is not Thornton's fault. LOL, seriously? Thornton is INCAPABLE OF GOING 1-2-3.

You can't run him out there again. Not in his own making? He gave up a leadoff double you f***ing morons.

LOLOLOLOL

Now matt can't locate his FB. This closer decision was terrible

Thornton is a joke now.

buehrle can throw a CG, his PC is pretty low

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) OMFG !!!!!!!! yessssss! YES! yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally ordering my Lillibridge jersey t!

I'm jealous of the fan who got that ball

10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLillibomb

only question left now, is what inning will Buehrle give up the solo shot in? I'm gonna say the 8th, since I think he'll throw a CG tonight

Going the other way with a right handed hitter against a changeup-throwing lefty? What is this!?

He could break the strikeout record against us tonight. I seriously mean that

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:42 PM) If you ask Hawk or DJ, they'll tell you it's because it's better to think fast and slow down for a pitch than to think slow and have to speed up. unfortunately that's only true when you're facing a FB pitcher

always wondered why we as a team haven't looked for a pitchers changeup instead of fastball when they throw 65-70% changeups

Quentin's AB killed that inning, he doesn't normally strike out on pitches like that

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 04:23 PM) This team looked really good today, by all accounts. we've made every game look winnable except the game against Masterson.
