That's just sad. This is a huge game and Ozzie has a AAA player batting during a possible game changing moment. If Owens deserved to hit there, then they should have called him up a long time ago. At least during a time when he was eligible for the postseason.

How Jose Valentin is in 10th place is beyond my knowledge. I know he hit 20, 25 homers each year, but he was only hear for 5 years. Just shows how much times have changed with the home run.

My thoughts exactly. Also in his few years here JD is second in career slugging % and 4th in career ops as a white sock.

Jerry Owens needs to find a new profession.

designated september pinch runner sounds good to me....maybe we can teach usain bolt to run the bases....i think oakland tried that in the 70s

Do not like the fact Owens was not pinch hit for!

For sure. Iguchi was a good one, too.

well said

the quality of major league umpiring is just terrible, not just for us, but in general......nice job by jermaine...

Exactly my thoughts. He's not good. I hope KW just cuts him so Ozzie stops using him. I wish we had Timo Perez because at least he didn't suck this much.

I understand saving CQ for later, but BA, Getz or even Toby Hall should have been at the plate there

 

Griffey...

I wonder how pissed off at the umpires Hawk would be if one of the Indians missed getting hit by a pitch by as far as Ramirez did and they let him take a base.

Griffey...

Why pinch hit a guy with 600+ homers and some decent plate discipline? That's just silly!

Griffey...

His back must be bad.

as much as i love Carassco's story and love how good he has been for us....i feel like i am just waiting for the wheels to fall off at some point and im nervous that its gonna be right here....keep proving me wrong DJ

Dye signing >>>>> Iguchi signing

I never said it wasn't. I said "for sure" to his statement. I was just saying that the Iguchi one was a huge sleeper signing as well.

Jerry Owens has to be the weakest 6'3" hitter in the game. His inability to generate ANY strength with that frame disturbing.

He's got a swiss cheese swing.

I'm nervous about how bad Quentin's hand injury must be if he couldn't hit in that situation.

He needs to start hanging around Alexei any chance he gets.

Not to mention he looks pretty athletic. Why no one has shown him to the weight room is beyond me.

this umpire is horrible, but ill take that strike

Herb Washington.

We've had a lot of good signings though. I just found it odd that you decided to randomly lump that one in there. Gooch was good, but IMO not even in the same ballpark

Cabrera is 5'9" and generates more pop that Owens.

Agreed...AJP was a significantly bigger free agent acquisition than Iguchi.
