BEVINGTON MANAGED BETTER THAN OZZIE IS MANAGING THIS PAST WEEK.  AND HE DID NOT FLAP HIS JAW EVERYTIME SOMEONE HAD AN OPINION ABOUT HOW HE HAS DONE.

 

Yet the media, fans and players appear to like Ozzie more. Go figure.

This needs to be bumped.

I don't think there was anything wrong with his BP usage tonight....

 

Brantley would have loved it. Going with the "defined closer" to get the last 3 outs.

 

The real mistake was not PHing for MB. I suppose that could be called not trusting your bullpen, but I think it was more of a case of Ozzie not understanding the importance of one extra run, more than BP mismanagement.

Yeah I meant to bump it for that decision. Just for the "rant here on Blizzard of Oz" part.

I wouldn't blame Oz.

Maybe it's Oz's personality, etc. that has us with the best record in ball.

Did you see Mark B when he got pulled?

He laughed and kidded with Oz.

The players obviously love him. He is the guy who made Hermy the closer for the 15 saves he's gotten.

A couple screwups are inevitable. He's handled this team great so far. It's not like we have a powerhouse here. WE have a nice team.

The laughing/giggling/hand holding is getting old. It seems like once every week now Ozzie manages a game that has this board shaking its collective head, and not just because hindsight is 20/20.

The sad thing is that tonight's game was nowhere near as badly managed as those two Angels games were. That's not exactly a compliment to Ozzie.

What does any of that have to do with bad managerial decisions? :huh
