Old Socks Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 He is absolutely gutless when it comes to taking out a pitcher in the first 5-6 innings. I am stilltrying to figure out how you can play to lose with a lead like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 What? He's got a bullpen that outside of Marte and Shingo can't get anyone out on most nights. Ozzie has made his share of mistakes, but he's gotta stick with the starters on most of these occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 He is put in an unenviable position - Cotts, Politte, Jackson, Adkins are all terrible, and he wisely refuses to burn Shingo and Marte because it would mean pennant race death. Of course Loaiza losing 2-3 mph off his fatsball doesn't help - hitters are hammering pitches they used to foul off last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Rector Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 How is Adkins terrible when he has a <3.00 ERA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
