SSH2005 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Do you think you are smarter than Ozzie? Give me a f***ing break! Your baseball knowledge is NOTHING compared to Ozzie. Stop playing f***ING manager. Bobby was called in with ONLY one man on first base. If he can not close the game, it's his f***ING fault. Don't blame anyone else. You are such a WHINER! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ozzie does seem to manage the pitching staff like a crazy man. He leaves starters in too long, is far too obsessed with the lefty/lefty matchup, and screws around too much about when he uses his closer. But then again, most managers share these same qualities.

Guest JimH Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 That's true, but I'd feel better about it if Jenks just got the ball at the start of the 9th. Closers blow games, I didn't like the decision-making again tonight with the match-ups, I'm more pissed because this isn't the first time it has happened either. CWSOX45 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suggest you guys place the blame where it belongs. First of all the pitchers didn't execute. The key blow was Emil Brown, who was obviously looking just to get his bat on the ball, and what did they call, a pitch on the outer half. Stupid. You need a pop up there, or try for the double play. Stupid. Logan got schooled by the veteran Stairs, you can see that coming. He dicked around with him with umpteen offspeed pitches instead of going right at him. I agree with SSH, get Jeff Nelson up here asap and see what he's got left in the tank. You have a one run lead, you can't throw strikes, it's bulls***.

Rowand44 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) I haven't read through the Jenks inning here, but, it would appear people are blaming both Ozzie as well? Get out of here. Thornton was throwing gas in the 8th, he was left in to get the left-hander out and he couldn't do it. The ball was then given to the closer and he just blew the save, plain and simple. It happens. Luckily, this was his first blown save of the year. He clearly didn't have it, it happens. Better luck tomorrow. Addy, this is not the first time Ozzie has done this crap this year. He keeps using our setup guys in the 9th inning, Matt did his job in the 8th, you go right to him in the 9th, period. This game is Bobby's fault BUT on a whole I'm just tired of Ozzie f***ing around in the 9th. The 9th is Bobby's, the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I thought the ump's calls were bulls***, particularly that breaking ball Logan put on the inside corner for a ball. I don't like this umpire. I don't like losing to Kansas s***ty, either. Leadoff double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better luck tomorrow. He may have blown the save, but he should have started the inning. Period. If you have that little confidence in your closer, maybe he shouldn't be your closer in the first place. Who was Thornton facing? Aaron Guiel. That's not exactly Jesus swinging a lefty stick. Jenks sucked, but Thornton was the wrong move and it set the tone for the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame anyone else. You are such a WHINER! Where did I ever state that I had superior knowledge to Ozzie? He won a World Series I didn't. Am I not allowed to voice my opinion? I just said I don't like how he is OBSESSED with the lefty lefty matchup. In some cases it's good to go with the lefty against the lefty. However, in this scenario with the one run game, I STRONGLY feel that it is the closer's game to lose. Therefore you put the ball in your closers hands and you let him get the three outs. As for the personal attack calling me a whiner, that's fine. I don't really care what you have to say about me, but I will not lower myself to your level.

Thornton was throwing gas, there was a left-hander in and Bobby has been pitching some serious innings as of late. There was one runner on...one. Bobby didn't get it done tonight, not Ozzie.

Jim, I do agree that the pitchers did not execute. However I really feel Jenks should have started the 9th, you get that first out instead of the lead-off walk, who knows what happends. Jenks did suck tonight, in fact the whole pen sucked tonight, however I still feel you go with the closer. Ozzie's decision by not calling Jenks in frustrated the hell outta me that's it. Everyone on this board is entitled to their opinion, Ozzie's fault, pens fault, offenses fault, whatever. Fact is we're down 3 runs right now, and that's all that matters.
