Viz is all over the place. We're one meatball away from a tie game. Oh boy, Hawk just said he has a bad feeling about this game.

Captain Voodoo Hawk just said he had a bad feeling about this game since the 3rd inning.

 

 

Why isnt someone up throwing already.

This is why you try to keep Freddy in as long as possible. Cliff threw a lot of pitches last night. Jenks pitched 2 innings. Now you have to go to Viz for awhile.

I have a bad feeling about Viz always.

Fathom you think Oz didn't know Fred had jacks*** for stuff?

Oz has been around baseball about 30 years.

Oz knew.

Oz also knows there's no excuse for Fred sucking like that.

It's ridiculous to think Oz didn't know Freddie was sucking.

 

Then why would he start him that inning? I hope Ozzie wasn't trying to challenge Garcia at the expense of the team.

I know we've stranded too many tonight...but we're still in position to win this game.  People on this board are so negative lately.  Let's remember that we're 8-4 in Sept....soon to be 9-4 and we're playing the Central for the rest of the way (does 41-14 mean anything to anyone on this board?)  I don't care how good Cleveland's playing...we own them this year.  OWN THEM.

 

Go Sox.

We're also 14-16 since August 12th.

 

You see what happened there? You selectively included 1 hot streak by our team, I selectively included 1 cold streak. Just saying what our numbers are in September doesn't prove anything.

Tying run at the plate in Cleveland, 6-4.

 

Come on, Dannnnnnn!

This is why you try to keep Freddy in as long as possible. Cliff threw a lot of pitches last night. Jenks pitched 2 innings. Now you have to go to Viz for awhile.

 

We do have more relievers than usual in the pen, but I doubt Ozzie trusts them enough for a close game. If Marte's going to be out for the year, Ozzie has got to let Cotts go longer in the game.

Good job Viz!

Viz pitches out of it.

Thats a big spot and I'd much rather have VIz (who cleaned up COtts mess last week agianst Sweeney) facing Sweeney than COtts.

Good job Viz!

 

Sarcasm? What happened? I don't have the game on.

Excellent 1.1 innings thus far Viz.

 

I bet Ozzie lets him start the 8th, and I don't think I'll second guess him unless people start getting on and he leaves Viz in there.

 

Now let's get another run or eight!

We have this pitcher named Baj that hasnt pitched too much lately. He might be fresh and I hear good.

Thats a big spot and I'd much rather have VIz (who cleaned up COtts mess last week agianst Sweeney) facing Sweeney than COtts.

 

Why? Cotts is dominant against righties. Not only that, but KC had 2 out of 3 lefties after Sweeney was up. I'm just happy that Viz got the job done.

I just jumped on sorry if this is a repeat.

 

Doesn't it seem when a reliever comes in to start freash in an inning for us they are lights out but when Guillen gets creative (i.e. using two or more guys in an inning), we end up giving up runs.

GAME - Oakland (Zito) gives it up.

 

Cle 6 Oak 4

 

I think he was doing that, Fathom, or at least challenging his highest paid pitcher to get his head out of his ass so we can stay with Cleveland.

Thats a big spot and I'd much rather have VIz (who cleaned up COtts mess last week agianst Sweeney) facing Sweeney than COtts.

 

Then don't bring in Cotts in the first place.

 

He's now put our bullpen in a real s***ty position. We have Hermanson left, a tired Jenks, and Bajenaru.

Excellent 1.1 innings thus far Viz.

Viz should get to start the 8th, but if they get one runner, then Cliff should come in. It hurts not having a lefty to face their 1-2 guys in their order.

We have this pitcher named Baj that hasnt pitched too much lately.  He might be fresh and I hear good.

 

He's fine if we're up by 4 or 5. Maybe you bring him in in the 5th.

Then don't bring in Cotts in the first place.

Politte

We need more runs.

Shoulda got 2 last inning.

The time for playing mind games with players is over. There are less than 3 weeks left in the season.

Royals guy keeps calling Gooch - "Taguchi".
