ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) He just shouldn't be playing tonight, especially facing two righties in the remainder of the series. By bunting AJP, Ozzie made it so easy for Tampa to not face Rios and go after the lefty. That's quite a stretch to blame Ozzie for the Rays intentionally walking Rios. You (and others) probably would have b****ed if ozzie let AJ hit, and then he GIDP. I have no problem with Ozzie having AJ bunt. It's not like AJ was likely to have a productive AB anyway.

If I never see a bunt again, I will be happy. If you don't think someone can have a productive at bat against a pitcher, either don't play him or don't bat him 6th.

justBLAZE Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Forceout at 2nd, Gordon with not so good of a throw. Actually Paulie should have picked it. Edited April 21, 2010 by justBLAZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Should have been a DP, pretty weak throw and bad scoop attempt. You have to turn those against a team like Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned off the game and just following Gameday now and was gonna ask why they did not turn the 2. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with AJ not being in the lineup, but to blame Ozzie for the Rays IBB of Rios is unfair IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan09 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Why is Danks worried about Kapler so much with these pickoff attempts? he is just a statue at first base. No threat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 We are now seeing that when guillen has to put thought into making decisions with the lineup and during the game, he is not capable of doing it. This should be his last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Great job, Danksie. So much stress on the starters and bullpen, let's hope that we can hold them off, because the offense is what it is right now. I'll never forget that grand slam Zobrist hit, it was off Thornton, wasn't it??? Edited April 21, 2010 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
