sox-r-us Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Pierzynski glanced over toward the Sox's dugout for guidance, but manager Ozzie Guillen's policy is not to get involved in pitch selections. "First of all, I am not that smart," Guillen said. "Secondly, I am not that good. I trust my catchers." http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny this is that the "normal" way of managing is probably Marte for the 7th and Politte for the 8th. I wonder how that would have turned out in comparision? This was definatley a night to mark one up for Oz. He also trusted Hernandez through the 5th and 6th innings, which many managers might not have done when he put runners on again. If we are going to disparage Oz when his moves fail, it is time to note when they succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 What? Sometimes I see AJ looking into the dugout for every pitch. Maybe it's Cooper calling the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie (or Don) probably call pitchouts, but not pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Another one, this from MLB.com Hard work: News of Livan Hernandez's 150-pitch effort Friday night against Florida made its way back to the White Sox clubhouse Saturday, where Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez marveled at the work turned in by his half-brother for Washington. El Duque was not surprised, though, by the inordinately high pitch count. "It's OK. He's strong. He's an animal," said Hernandez, pointing to the 1994 season in Cuba, when Livan completed 13 of 17 starts that he made. The high-water pitch count for El Duque in Cuba was 154. But Guillen just laughed when asked if he could currently reach that mark. "Maybe, if we had paramedics around," Guillen said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
