We're gonna score two this inning. There I said it.

So Walker is in charge of sending in PH. Who sends in PR and makes out the line-up card? Its Ozzie's decision not Walker's.

Correct. Its Ozzie's call ultimately, but he relies on his coaches to dictate matchups, etc.

It would be nice if our pitchers stopped walking the f***ING #9 HITTER!

Someone want to give me the summary of what happened on Rios's triple?

 

 

Pods made a valiant effort, dove for the ball, wasn't able to block/trap it and went past him...Nix had to hustle behind him or it would have been an inside-the-park homer.

 

Pretty sure Anderson would have had it, but who knows.

 

AJ needs to have his f***ing hands tied behind his back, so he can take a freaking pitch.

Ball hit shallow into center. Pods came in and dove, but he missed by a few inches. Ball bounced away, Nix retrieved it but Rios was at 3rd.

dotel and aj are f***ing worthless

 

AJ's definitely one of the most overrated players in baseball. Pods in CF might have cost us two runs today. This team will never learn, I guess.

liner to CF, pods made a great effort to dive and get it, ball rolled to the track. if nix wasn't backing it up it would've been in the park dinger.

WTF did he do there that would make you say that? I would have to disagree and say he is very underrated.

I jumped away for a moment and missed all of the fun. Not pinch hitting for Fields is inexcusable.....oh wait he may bat this inning then the right handed hitting Betemit or Lillibridge would have to face Downs.

 

The personnel moves this team has made are freightening.

 

I thought Ozzie was gone today as awell?

Alexei walks.

Alexi with a rare walk. Hopefully this gets something started.

And Alexei just kept the bat firmly on his shoulders for 6 pitches? What in the world is going on today?

Correct. Its Ozzie's call ultimately, but he relies on his coaches to dictate matchups, etc.

So what time does Ozzie get to the park? He doesn't do any instruction, Cora runs spring training. Walker tells him when to pinch hit. Cooper tells him when to change pitchers. Why do the Sox pay Ozzie? I think you're wrong. If Ozzie hasn't looked at the book with all the numbers in it and hasn't read the advanced scouting reports, he's the most ill-informed manager of all time.

 

And what about his "managing from the gut" lines he always uses? Maybe that was an example.

I'm pretty sure the book is out on Getz to pitch him inside

WTF did he do there that would make you say that? I would have to disagree and say he is very underrated.

 

What does he do that's above average now?

Another 3 pitch strikeout.

Why in f***s sake is Betemit not pinch hitting here?

Maybe someone bothered to tell Fields and ARam not swing at crap outside.

 

 

Not that it mattered.

f***, this team.

This SWEEP is over.

Unfortunately, playing Nix in LF and Pods in centerfield (instead of Anderson) has equalled our offensive output in runs we've given up.

 

They need to circle the wagons.

shocker...

We still haven't won a game in Torotno since 2007.
