May 27, 200421 yr I was wondering what was taking so long, but anyway that was just a solid game all around
May 27, 200421 yr Good game tonight and what a difference a night makes. Went to the game for the second straight day and there were no fights and nothing like the way it was on tuesday. I think i shall start to go to more full price days.
May 27, 200421 yr All I gotta say is WOW. E-lo was the f***in man. That was vintage before September 2003 by, Loaiza.
May 27, 200421 yr Not that I'm complaining but how come they took out Loaiza instead of letting him finish? I know his pitch count was at 110 after 8.
May 27, 200421 yr Not that I'm complaining but how come they took out Loaiza instead of letting him finish? I know his pitch count was at 110 after 8. I didn't have a problem with him being pulled after 8. I love when Shingo gets a chance to pitch
May 27, 200421 yr yeah loazia looked like the pitcher he was in 03. shingo looked very happen at the end of the game
May 27, 200421 yr yeah loazia looked like the pitcher he was in 03. shingo looked very happen at the end of the game welcome to soxtalk! :fthecubs :begood
May 27, 200421 yr It was good to see the 2003 version of ELo again. Maybe this will be the start of a major roll for him.
May 27, 200421 yr It was good to see the 2003 version of ELo again. Maybe this will be the start of a major roll for him. I hope so. I saw that same 2003 version in Tampa Bay not too long ago and it disappeared faster than Iraqi WMD.
May 27, 200421 yr Beautiful outing for ELo and the defense. These kind of games where we play solid D, and pitch well are more impressive to me than the 17 run out bursts.
May 27, 200421 yr Not that I'm complaining but how come they took out Loaiza instead of letting him finish? I know his pitch count was at 110 after 8. 113 actually, and I wondered the same thing. It wasn't even addressed in Ozzie's post game interview...
May 27, 200421 yr 113 actually, and I wondered the same thing. It wasn't even addressed in Ozzie's post game interview... It was addressed, Ozzie said he was about putting the team first instead of personal stats.
May 27, 200421 yr 113 actually, and I wondered the same thing. It wasn't even addressed in Ozzie's post game interview... I know one stupid inning won't make much of a difference, but the Sox starters are all among the league leaders in innings/pitches thrown this year. After seeing Loaiza tire a bit near the end of last season, and Alewife not having thrown 200 innings in a few years, I was hoping to see Loaiza removed after 6 or 7 innings. Wouldn't want next year's pitching staff to suffer the same fate a certain NL team is experiencing this season..........
May 27, 200421 yr I had absolutely no problem in him being pulled..our bullpen guys need innings too, and it's not like Loaiza was still with a low pitch count. Everyone that wanted him to stay in must have had him on their fantasy team.. (Except whoever it was that benched him.. )
May 27, 200421 yr There's nothing wrong with a 113 pitch count for an effective starter, from time to time.
May 27, 200421 yr It was addressed, Ozzie said he was about putting the team first instead of personal stats. Loaiza wanted to finish (per ESPN) why Ozzie ignored that request was not addressed. :banghead
May 27, 200421 yr There's nothing wrong with a 113 pitch count for an effective starter, from time to time. He had just struck out 2 in the 8th as well. He was on auto-pilot... would have been nice to see a CG.

Wouldn't want next year's pitching staff to suffer the same fate a certain NL team is experiencing this season.......... I am right there with you. When I realized that we had 4 starters in the top 10 in pitches per outing, it scared the s*** out of me. Loz might be gone after this year, but MB, Scho, and Garland are all staying here. I also am worried about a September fade by guys who are worn out.

I agree.. but it's May.. one night tossing 125 pitches, especially when he wanted to, IMO is not going to effect his arm 5 months from now.
May 27, 200421 yr This is case where Ozzie would have been criticized regardless of which way he went. Therefore he did what he felt was best for the long term benefit of the club.
