the third strike was there though, and he took

What the f*** is Ozzie doing? Why in the hell is El Duque still in the game? :banghead :banghead :banghead

This s*** is pathetic.

 

Did we just not score with the bases loaded and no outs?

good call cerbaho!

No excuses for Timo that AB. In that situation, you have to be protecting.

Jim next time you make me turn on the game make sure they get one run in first. This game is over. They had there chance, just like last night. You capitalize or you lose. End of game. bases loaded nobody out twice, and we score 1 run.

maybe he wanted to make sure Duke gives up ten hits tonight

This s*** is pathetic.

yes

Leadoff double for Tigers, totally disagree with El Duque being out there. Get him out.

like i said its april 30th. relax. s*** like this happens to the best of the them.

 

This is an offensive trend that i can see lasting for a long while. It will get better but not much. We can't get guys on and when we do we cannot get a clutch hit. That is not a very good combination. Also, out pitching will only get worse from here on out.

Hernandez still in the game.

 

Ozzie, when he goes down with an injury, remember today.

Bad luck on the Konerko DP.  Timo strikes out again, I will say that one of those two pitches was a ball, take your pick.  Not taking him off the hook for not getting the bat on the ball but one of those pitches is out of the zone.

 

 

you protect the plate if its close. Foul it off.

yes

 

Are you sure?

 

I refuse to believe what I just saw.

Because he has absolutely no feel for the game. How many times have you seen him leave a batter in one inning too long? I know he tries to get the starter's confidence level up, but you also owe it to the team to make the proper decision. Hernandez is at 105 pitches starting this inning.......and it's not like he's not injury prone.

When is Ozzie gonna learn to pull contreras and duque when they should be pulled and not always let them start the next inning?

I'm not hallucinating here am I? Didn't I read where the sox were going to be VERY careful to number Orlando's innings and number of starts because they know he'll get hurt if he goes 200 innings over 35 starts? I'm not a f***ing idiot am I?

You can tell that the book on Konerko is out.....pitch him fastballs inside. He'll either chop it to the left side or take a called 3rd looking in there. He's not quick enough right now to get his hands inside the ball. Konerko should have been looking to right center w/the bases loaded, and not to pull the ball. I was worried he'd hit into a 5-4-3 triple play.

Struck him out.

 

I don't care. This is stupid. El Duque should be on a 100-105 cap. So f***ing pointless, Ozzie. Congrats, you got two more outs from him.

I refuse to complain about Oz or the pitchers.

 

Until I see an offense, there's no point to b**** about them.

you protect the plate if its close. Foul it off.

If you are hitting and he calls that inside pitch a strike, it stands to reason the other pitch 3 inches outside is a ball.

 

Not making excuses for him though. He did not get the job done, same as last nite. Either deliver or get out of the way.

Its beause OZzie over works his bullpen, therefore he needs his starters to go longer.

Agree

We're all f***ing idiots for believing anything mgmt tells us. The fact that Timo got the start tonight after doing exactly what KW b****ed out Lee for doing last year shows what the Lee move really was (cost-cutting, even though I thought the end result was fine for our team).

Hawk says, "He made the right decision".

 

Ok, Hawk. Three weeks later, when Orlando is on the DL or going through a dead arm period, you can point (partly) to tonight. Who cares, we got three extra outs from him today, which will cost us down the road.

We are all smart on this board, including me. He got out of it. 7th inning stretch, down 3-1.

 

TQ, did you just see the Southwest commercial? And the price to Pittsburgh?
