infohawk Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I understand that keeping the starters in the game through six or seven innings benefits the bullpen, but it seems to me that our bullpen gets plenty of rest. I'm no manager, but wouldn't it be a good idea to have the starters pitch at least an inning less or a certain number of pitches less than what would normally be expected this late into September? That's one way to keep them fresh. Here's hoping the excitement is over for the night and the bulllpen just closes it out with authority!!!

fathom Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) SHHHHH. You might hurt Ozzie's feelings. He might not show you his AL manager of the year award in only his second year of managing with a "terrible, terrible offense" if you don't stop yelling at him. I hope he remembers to carry that trophy with him to the unemployment line in the next few seasons. I'm beginning to think you'd rather try to bait myself and others instead of actually commenting on the game.

southsideirish71 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Garcia's line 5.1 innings 7 runs earned on 9 hits with 2 bbs and 2ks. I can see why Ozzie made those comments about not giving El Duque a chance on Sunday. We all thought that him giving up 3 in the first was bad, but it goes with the current pitching trend of our playoff starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I couldnt' understand a word of it, but in a pre-game chat with one of the radio guys, Ozzie was still trying to sound positive about Marte, saying something about taking a day at a time or something to that effect.

That's one way to keep them fresh. I've been saying this same exact thing for a while now. Ozzie needs to trust our bullpen, and maybe taking out the starters a little earlier on a consistent basis would have saved our starters arms a little. They've thrown so many pitches all year, that has to be taken into consideration for their weak performance lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
