Steal with Juan. Test Martinez. I doubt he will even throw.

 

Has anybody seen Neal warm up? Is he available?

Mike,

 

Cotts was a starter who was converted into a reliever.  He was in the majors for a few years before he made it to the back of the pen.  Marte was the guy being tossed in the fire last year, Cotts was used in the 6th and 7th before pitching his way into the back of the pen when Marte failed. 

 

McCarthy was a starter.  He didnt relieve until 2 2 hit games against boston and texas.  Then he came in to mop up after El Duque got rocked.

 

I remember early last year when Cotts was being thrown into pressure situations and everyone was complaining that we should be using Marte. This was back before Neal Cotts was cool...

 

I also seem to remember Brandon being called up and facing the Cubs in him MLB debut, and then also being thrown to the fire for the make up game in Boston with only about half of the starters behind him.

Good call, I like the idea of a pinch hitter here Ozz. And if Anderson is out I'd think hard about PH him, but at the same time I'd also think hard about what it says to your youngster by doing that.

 

Anderson has had two straight AB's with a big no no, going down looking with runners on.

Mota coming in.

I want to see cintron here.

Ask and ye shall receive. Can we give Ozzie some credit for that move?

Very nice call my friend.

No, not after his bullpen mistake.

I can give him credit for a hell of a lot more than that.

That would be awful. Juan doesn't get good jumps. I have no problem with being agressive, but you got to pick and choose the situation and doing it now, this late in the game would be a poor move, imo.

With 1 out...no, Martinez probably wouldn't throw...but we have AJ on 3rd, and he's not exactly going to be the best guy to come home on the throw.

Game Day Audio f***ing blows today.

double steal?

where's Timo when you need him

There is a post I never though I would see on Soxtalk

Very good game so far. Lee had it going but nearly made this thing a blowout in the Sox's favor. Kudos to the tribe pen for keeping it close.

 

Sox offense is so clutch, thats why they are so tough IMHO...

 

This MOTA-CINTRON matchup should be a good one. Both from the National League... I'm sure they faced eachother before.

We'll get a saccy.

double steal?

Decent Idea...but the worry is still AJ coming home if Martinez does throw it. He's not exactly fleet.

Don't let Juan get far off first base, period. I love the guy but he's just a horrendous base runner.

I wanted to stay out of the DP.

Mota looks like Harold Reynolds in his gameday picture.

how bout those tigers 14-2

yeah they can hit, but honestly the royals have the worst pitching staff, mays threw and was awful, i was followin that game for fantasy reasons
