why did ozzie elect to bring in jackson to face the lefty when he had marte to go to? marte in the 8th, expecally against the leftys... and shingto in the 9th?

 

WHY

no one knows

i guess only the OZ can tell me

 

f***

For the two innings they eached pitched yesturday. Thats why.

ah, so they cant pitch in back to back games if they throw 2 innings?

First: Shingo/Marte both pitched two innings yesterday

 

Second: Bases were loaded with 0 outs. As I indicated in the chat room, any reliever (in that situation) would've been luckly to escape the inning without coughing up few runs

 

No need to transfer blame onto Ozzie when Buehrle failed to halt the Cleveland offense.

so marte/shing cant pitch 2 days in a row if they pitch 2 innings?

 

yeah, bases loaded, no outs, is really tough... but a grad slam is about as good as a reliever can do, right?

 

i know that burle was pretty f***in crapy today, and i have been questioning him for the past 5 games... mainly about his problems in the first 2 innings... and now im questioning why ozzie made that choice

 

i didnt know that martes arm would fall of throwing 3 IN in 2 games, guess i do now

If marte was in there and was right he could have easily gotten a strike out and a double play. At least he would have had a much better shot than jackson.

Because a rigty was due up next. Broussard was a PH.

ahhh ha!

another reason i wish i could watch the games =D

so marte/shing cant pitch 2 days in a row if they pitch 2 innings?

Of course they can. The situation alone warrants their arrival into a game. In this circumstance (bases loaded, no outs) Ozzie chose to select Jackson; evidently a poor decision.

 

What you fail to realize is JON RAUCH is pitching tomorrow. Lets pretend Ozzie calls Shingo and Marte to pitch the 8th/9th; both would undoubtably sit tomorrow. Guillen was thinking ahead, and wisely decided to save his most reliable relievers for Thursdays decisive game. There's no telling how long Rauch will last, or if Shingo/Marte combo will be needed to close the game.

bueno bueno flash

good job buddy

If Rauch gets through 5 innings without much damage, I'd let him try and get through the 6th. If he gets roughed up, call on Marte to finish the 6th, and then pitch the 7th, and then call on Shingo to get a 2-inning save.

 

That's maximizing your bullpen.

 

Of course, then both Marte and Shingo are probably fried for Friday's game against the Cubs, but that's fine...we'd just hope that we scored 10 runs within the first 3 innings, and then scored 7 more in the next 3. I don't think even our bullpen can blow a 17 run lead(though I could be wrong).

Hell the way this pitching staff has been of late, with the exception of Shingo and maybe Marte. It wouldn't have mattered who Ozzie would have brought in. Would you have felt more comfortable with bases loaded and Cliff "Hanger" Politte in to pitch that Jackson?? Both those guys are as bad a Koch has ever been.
