Now we've gone from bad fielding to bad baserunning, they need to clear this s*** up.

5 of our starters are averaging .280 or better if you count Ozuna. While we don't have a .300 hitter, at least we have half of our lineup with pretty good averages.

The Rangers just tied the Twins 7-7 if anyone cares.

Hermy has a great closer attitude, if healthy Hermy can be good because he has definitley shown it.

it's happened countless times on the boards

and more than a few times between friends while watching the game.

 

ozzie is terrible at managing pitchers, that's a fact.

 

Then we must be the luckiest team in the histroy of the league to win as many close games as we have this season.

Problem is, he came out today and said he's not healthy.

I get the feeling if we win the World Series people will still be complaining on the game thread how Ozzie managed.

 

It's actually quite amusing.

C'mon HERMY!!

or have a great team to overcome some of these mistakes

 

you're like me and all the other optimists x 1000

Now the Rangers are ahead 10-7 in the top of the 9th. Mark Teixeira hit his 100th career home run.

C'mon 1 more for the Herminator.

I can guarantee you that is false. As one of the prime pessimists on this board, you'd never hear a word from me about Ozzie after the season.

He did today??

Great job by Hermanson! We can all breathe a little easier (including myself).

HE GAWN!!!! HERMY!!!!

 

6 IN A ROW KEEP GOING!!!!!

 

GOOD JOB WHITE SOX

Great win. Hermanson didn't pitch many pitches which is a good thing. 6 in a row now. Let's go for 7 tomorrow!!

Thank you very much Hermy.

Tell that to the White Sox pitchers.

Wow Nathan just got ROCKED. Rangers about to take the game.

I don't care how lucky we get, a win is a win. I simply don't think Ozzie gives our team the GREATEST chance to succeed a lot of the time with his pitching moves. A manager can hit a ball or make a pitch...but he can put the best personnel on the field at the appropriate times on a consistent basis.

 

Jphat...would you still want Duque starting an inning the rest of the season when his pitch total is around 90?

The whitesox pitchers are filthy and are the biggest reason we are we are.

I love this team!!! I love Hermy!! I love when we all analyze!! Contreras tommorow babY!!!! Am I his only fan around here?!?! He's awesome baby!

Absolutely. He'd start in that situation everytime, except maybe a clinching game of a playoff series where the bullpen is available. No reason to try and bring in the bullpen with a 4 run lead in theat situation against KC when you have a 9.5 lead on sept. 5. Save your bullpen if Duque can go another 1 or 1 1/2 innings. If eh gives it up, you give it to your bullpen which has been lights out the whole year and hope they don't hit people and give up bombs with a 2 or 3 run lead.

 

Really it just gives us heartache.
