It will be interesting to hear how anyone can support that move.

 

The only one that maters in supporting it is Ozzie. He goes too long at times with the starters and I am sure he wants Jose to stay in there and give up some double and homers versus singles.

only ozzie would of done what he just did.

That is absolutely horrible Ozzie...

 

I was sitting here trying to figure out who was gonna PH, ASSUMING that Contreras was done...jeez..

Farmer just said "Contreras has not had his best stuff today". Sounds like we hear that every time he picthes lately.

I've become aggrivated with Contreras' pitching as of late.

 

It's to the point where I expect a quality game every start, and anything else is a complete failure. He set the standards, not me. With the almost continual bed-wetting of Garland, Garcia and Vazquez we need consistency. Buehrle alone isn't enough. Unless we're to believe the offense can carry us; which it wasn't constructed to do, but has done well as of late.

 

Funny, Santana and Liriano had no problem against the Pirates. I guess good pitching defeats good hitting every day aside from when it happens to us.

Well, Contreras is at 84 pitches. I would much rather see if he can straighten himself out the rest of the game, even if it means losing. Our starting pitching is in shambles right now.

Rest of the game? An average inning is about 15 pitches, leaving him just about at 100. So basically leave him in to see if he can get 1 more scoreless inning? Stupid move especially now that the rain is coming down.

And what do you know, it starts raining. :banghead

now its raining, I think we blew a chance to tie the game last inning. bad decision.

WOW..we are 11-1 in our last 12 games and you made this comment...awesome

Now the pitchers spot comes up for the Pirates, and they pinch hit with one out and no one on.

 

We have a man on 2nd, and 1 out, and we let our AL pitcher swing away. Cute.

Our pitching is good on paper.

I'm ready to be done with NL ball. I don't care how much we've beat them, it's just terrible to watch.

 

 

I have no idea what this means

The butt of alot of my jokes, Pods, is now up to .265...battling, great to see...

 

lets get a couple runs here...and great, Jose walks someone on 4 pitches..

WOW..we are 11-1 in our last 12 games and you made this comment...awesome

 

How many quality starts have had in that span? Our offense has been great, no doubt about it.

Excellent idea to keep Jose in this game.

I have no idea what this means

 

=Watching s***ty hitting pitchers strikeout on 3 pitches is crap baseball.

I sometimes wonder and even cringe at things Ozzie does and sdays, but with 99 wins and the WS last year and second best record in MLB this season so far, I think I will let Ozzie manage.

Count walks a guy, now he is 3-0 on this hitter.

 

Great that we let him hit in the previous inning.

I know it sounds foolish questioning Ozzie after the success we've had, but one of my main complaints has always been that he doesn't have a good feel for taking out his starting pitchers before more damage can be done. In regards to not ph for Contreras, I'm speechless.

Amazing what a pinch hitter could do.

 

While our hottest hitter the past three games (Iguchi) sits and watches a guy pitch like s***.

 

Instead of getting him a win, he is going to get him shelled.

 

The sad thing is with the rain, a 5-5 game would like great right now.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

Thanks for leaving Contreras in this game, Ozzie.

Well this decision to leave Jose in, is working well for us.

 

Rain delay. Sweet.

hahaha

atleast we got thome and aj on the bench.....

BA should have gone to third, ph, sac fly, were tied.

>now theres one on, and trouble abrewing and ozzies gunna have to take jose out and look like an idiot.

hahahahahahahha 1st and 3rd, nice job by keeping jose in the game just because of stupid personal s*** like trying to get him a win.....he was more worried about getting jose a win than the damn team

I would much rather see if he can straighten himself out the rest of the game

I hope you're happy now.

Not pinch-hitting for Jose in that situation is simply inexcusable.

I sometimes wonder and even cringe at things Ozzie does and sdays, but with 99 wins and the WS last year and second best record in MLB this season so far, I think I will let Ozzie manage.

 

 

i think there is added pressure this year, as the Tigers are a better ball club than us. Falling behind them further makes for anxiety. In addition, we now know that rain was coming, so why would Ozzie stick with contrares? He had an opportunity to tie the game, now he is in a deep hole. Despite the World series, we can as fans second guess. its why we watch.
