The scouts at this game aren't going to be ripping Count. He hasn't pitched a bad game at all, if not for his dumbass manager, this could be a different story to say the least. He's he decent stuff in these 6 innings too.

Of course, scouts probably also might notice whether or not that was actually a home run in the first.

Mack 0/3, 3k's. Ditto Iguchi.

Josh Fields fouls off so many pitches. We can only hope he shortens up his swing as the years go by.

Maybe we can see Wassy tonite.

KC up 6-2

Billy Butler is going to make us wish Sweeney was still their DH.

To me, contreras looks like he is pitching knowing that he is being traded. he has that "deer in headlights" look that he lost in the second half of 05 and first half of 06.

Let's see just how long Ozzie can leave Contreras out on the mound.

Good news!!! Pods has two hits for Charlotte tonight....and two caught stealings.

Wow, if Owens only knew how to bunt.

bring on wassie now

Good grief, I hate you Ozzie.

bring on wassie now

Why do that when Contreras only has 87 pitches and a possibility to win the ballgame?

more count!

 

WHY?

Wow, get your ass out there Ozzie. Contreras is beyond done.

This might be the worst managed game I've seen by Ozzie in his career here.

Why is he doing this?

saving the pen for the Tigers' ass kicking next week.

 

good news: Ortiz strained right shoulder.

 

might not play tomorrow.

Why is he doing this?

 

Probably trying to be a stubborn asshole and it's his way of showing KW that he hates his bullpen. Meanwhile, this does nothing but hurt our organization. A homer here, and you could realistically say he would have allowed 10 runs today.

Horray, we're gonna see Wasserman! 4 batters too late but we're gonna see him none the less.

This might be the worst managed game I've seen by Ozzie in his career here.

I know our bullpen hasn't been good, but Jesus, you'd think Wasserman -- promoted for his ability to retire RH -- may have been better served facing Ramirez.

 

Contreras only came out because of his pitch count and the opportunity to win the game. Classic Guillen. And, what's worse, is he left him out even after the first two hitters reached. Now make it the first three batters.

 

This is just terrible.

Leave him in forever!! What an idiot Ozzie.

This might be the worst managed game I've seen by Ozzie in his career here.

Pitching to Morneau with a base open in extras. Nuff said.

Even the players gotta be wondering why?

I'm sure we'll get the following quote after the game "you guys blame me when I pull the starters too early".
