I've never seen someone dive for more plays and come up empty-handed.

Are you forgetting Chris Getz that quickly?

Pet peeve. Pitch the guy when he's needed. The problem won't be tonight; it'll be if they want to use him tomorrow and therefore has to throw for the 3rd straight day -- completely needlessly.

 

I see your argument, and it's up to the manager to know what each of his pitcher's need with regards to work/rest

Putz in, Fat Ass will be in for the 9th.

Oh jesus christ. This sets up Bobby for the 9th.

 

Oh yeah, and likely to face some lefties who can DESTROY fastballs.

Man, watching Vizquel play D is such a treat. Made that look so simple.

JJ IS NASTY HE SHOULD BE CLOSING JESUS

 

i am an ozzie supporter but on the topic of closer OG needs his brain fixed

Puttin' on the Putz!

Putz really should get the 9th

send him out for another!

Seriously....leave him the F in Oz!!!

I'd love to cash Jenks in for some prospects. And make Putz the closer.

I love how Ozzie awards playing time. It’s both illogical and counterintuitive.

I hate Ozzie. How can you bring lard ass out there against the heart of the order?

Fat Ass is up in the pen. Sigh.

Can someone hack into the phones at US Celluar and make it so Ozzie can't call down to the bullpen?

You have to hope Bobby has his act together tonight....

Because he’s an idiot who ultimately answers to no one in this organization.

I'm not kidding. My heart is pounding right now. I have zero faith in Bobby Jenks (hopefully the reverse psychology works).

idk what ozzie is thinking sometimes with his love for jenks/kotsay....it just pisses me off so much

 

not to mention his thinking that this team can win without a deadline deal

There's one thing for sure, there's going to be a meltdown from the entire board if Jenks blows this one...the only good thing is that Ichiro and Figgins are out the way already, so that's a BIT comforting that the bigger swingers are up to bat.

Oz going to live and die with Jenks here... I am uber nervous here.

Not feelin' real good right now...

The key word is bolded. Ozzie doesn't apply any specific train of thought to anything he does. He operates from the gut.

It would be very nice if Quentin could prove that the last few weeks prior to the ASB weren't a fluke. He's just not the same player since he got HBP in the first game in Minnesota after the break.

If Bobby does blow this save, Ozzie has a lot of explaining to do.

 

Putz threw 8 pitches in the 8th inning.
