So we are 4-1 and trying to sweep the Twinkies and focking Guillen begins his tinkering

 

Why was Pods benched yesterday instead of Ozuna after his first two games in the Twinkie dome?

 

Why was Iguchi benched in one of the games in the Twinkie dome?

 

Why is AJ rested today for Widger? Why is Ozuna playing instead of Uribe?

 

I swear Guillen is as bad as Jerry M in terms of tinkering. I know the bench should play too to be useful when needed, but we are playing our freaking division rivals right now. We have a chance to get ahead 5 games in the division when the first 15 games are done. And this dumbass decides to rest the hot players killing all momentum. We have an off day tomorrow too.

 

I swear Ozzie sucks at some of his decisions. :banghead

 

Of course, now Widger will go and have a career day to prove me wrong

1.) Podsednik was benched for Ozuna because Podsednik is a lefty and they were facing a nasty lefty pitcher. It was a bad matchup for him.

 

2.) Willie had good numbers against Kyle Lohse. Ozzie played the lefty against the righty. Managers do this all the time.

 

3.) A.J. has caught five games in a row. Ya think he may need a rest?

 

4.) Uribe is sick so Ozuna is starting in his place today.

What did Ozuna do yesterday? Have you compared to what Pods is doing?

 

And if he had to play why was he not replacing Crede...you know the guy who was single handedly responsible for that error that led to the Torri H HR.

the only thing that would make this topic worse is Jugger showing up and s***ting all over it.

And I have not even started on the BP tinkering that was directly responsible for one loss

That is not possible today correct?

I agree with you there. Maybe Ozzie doesn't trust Ozuna's defense at 3rd base to give him a start there.

Look at Widger stopping all those balls

I like the fact that oz is seeing what his bench players can do.

Are you expecting A.J. to catch 162 games straight or something?

This thread is hysterical.

Hell no, but like I said, when you are playing against your division with a day off the next day, you should field your best team period.

 

What part of that you do not understand?

 

And to the person who said Pods was benched yesterday because of the tough lefty-lefty matchup against Santana, then wy was AJ not benched yesterday and made to play today instead?

 

remember: ozzie makes de line up

How exactly? Ozzie tinkers as much as Jerry M if not more. And Ozzie has yet to win anything more than Jerry did.

Hitting in the .210's is awesome for podsednik and that was not an error by cruddy.

And Millwood looks like Roger Clemens again....gee I wonder if that has anything to do with our last 4 hitters being

 

0.125

0.200

0.000

0.182

And when you don't give your starting catcher a day off after starting 5 straight games, his knees will turn to jelly, and he will be burned out for future games against your division rivals.

 

I'm sure A.J. was started against the Twins last night to once again f*** with the Twins' hitters. Before the series began, Jacque Jones even told his teammates not to listen to the crap A.J. would taunt them with from behind the plate.

read jabroni's post.

gives reasons for why oz did what he did.

 

They all seem pretty right to me.

It may not have officially counted as an error, but he was responsible for that. Uribe had a shot if Crede had only let it go.

By the time it would have gotten to uribe he would have beat it out.

We got beat yesterday, plan and simple.

 

We won the series, we're playing another game RIGHT NOW
