CSF Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 3 up, 3 down. The heart of the Braves lineup. Not a single ball left the infield. Shingo Takatsu looked like he was in control. Sorry Billy, but Shingo should be the 9th inning guy from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I agree keep marte in set-up, i mean marte did perfectly fine against two lefties so ozzie does not have to say it is situational. Just comfirm he is the closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I felt ST should of been closing since before the West Coast trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flo-B-flo Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Last Sundays' Seattle game that the goat blew, I was going on a quick beer run when I saw Shingo make fools out of the Mariner batters in the 8th inning. As I walked out the door I said "Ozzie do you see what I saw?" When I got back useless Billy had just walked the winning run in. You have got to go with the hot guy when you want to close wins. Shingo is hot. That said, Koch stood tall with the media after the game and should be commended. Commended and kept the hell away from the 9th inning. Arigato Shingo!

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 It's very simple. Marte sets up, Shingo sets em down in the ninth, Botch washes their jock straps when its all over. Everyone's happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Marte in the 8th followed by Shingo in the 9th sounds good. I just worry about the rest of the pen. Cotts has clearly been a different pitcher since that start against the Twins. Politte has been bad more times than not. Jackson has been solid. Adkins has been struggling a little. Koch is well Koch. We need to go out and get another arm in that pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
