AngelasDaddy0427 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I noticed Ozzie used Mackoviack as a late inning defense replacement when we had a 3 run lead... So is Ozzie just a complete moron or was Anderson hurt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Double-switch. BA's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 It was a foolish move but it was in fact just a double switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 So all of you would rather have Mack in CF with a 3 run lead then BA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I believe Ozzie read the BP article from earlier this week, and in hatred of all things "new school", he put Mack in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Ozzie made a similar move in the W.S. in case you didnt remember. (it wasn't the CF position, but you know what I mean.. Â He's been in the NL before as a coach and was around some of the best managers around so he knows how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I don't think any of us would rather have Mack instead of BA in CF, but Oz was trying to play National League baseball, out-thinking himself. He probably in hindsight, shoulda realized a 3 run lead in theory SHOULD be safe, and you don't switch, and you DO leave your best defensive team on the field. Â Â At least it didn't cost us.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Good post Cap'n. He outsmarted himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I could understand what he was doing in a way. However, it was just unneeded. It didn't hurt, but I'd prefer he didn't do something like that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yea, it's not exactly like he was putting Jim Thome into the lineup, it was freaking Rob Mackowiak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiegle Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 correct me if im wrong... but... Â Â his rational for putting mack in was so that he would lead off the next inning (and in turn, move the pitcher's batting spot down), but... why couldnt he just leave BA in center, and then pinch hit for the pitcher had there been a problem and Jenks blew the save? Â am i missing something, or did oz really just out dumb himself here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â am i missing something, or did oz really just out dumb himself here? He just totally out smarted himself. If Jenks would have given up 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game I'd have no interest in seeing him pitch the 10th. If you have a 3 run lead in the bottom of the 9th you have to put your best defense out there, the last thing you need is a shot to the gap with the bases loaded and the tying/winning run scores because you meaninglessly took out your best defensive player.
