If Putz turns bad too, then we are in some serious f***ing trouble. We can't contend with a bad Jenks, a bad Putz, and a shaky Thornton.

 

I think he's officially turned bad.

I think maybe Rios gets both of those. Don't know, obviously. And I have to think Jenks can't pitch, so Thornton is for the 9th. We don't deserve to win this.

HAHA! That was fun bad right there. What a disaster.

Perfect way to go into Minnesota feeling this way about ourselves.

I'm so tired of his non-chalant attitude in center. He can't hit for us, so he can't afford to make errors.

For a moment there I heard the organ music and thought "That sounds like something I'd hear played at a funeral".

I seriously doubt even Gutierrez would have gotten that triple.

Andruw Jones was 1/3 on the inning.

Castro's pitch selection for Jenks and Putz leaves a lot to be desired. Seems to call for way too many fastballs.

disaster

Ok, wow Andruw. That one is totally on you........ The previous ball was going to be tough regardless, but that right there is just awful.

yea so he cant hit now he cant field? and then you have people like cowley,for example, that said oh, how can we get dunn,etc because what would you do with guys like jones and kotsay, right.......this is depressing

Putz cost himself several million these past couple days

Wow, that was pathetic by Jones. More BRUTAL managing by Ozzie! Seriously, where the heck is Thornton.

 

How about just let Thornton be the 1 man pen. You can't blame Ozzie when most of your pen sucks. I fear the day when Thornton's arm falls off because the pen sucks.

Putz is now the new Linebrink.

 

August, Sept. is the worst time for your pen to fail.

 

Man I wonder how Putz and Jones feel going back in the dugout

Putz doesn't have anything else but the fastball right now.

Putz with an impressive (assuming we lose) 3 losses in a week

I know I said earlier in this thread that I don't think Putz should pitch back to back games anymore. After further evaluation, I think we should shut him down until the end of the regular season. If he doesn't get the necessary rest to get his arm strength back, he's no good to us in the playoffs.

I would take that as Jone and Kotsay are hard to dump on other teams.

His arm strength is fine...his command of his splitter is killing us.

The team is officially in freefall. It's over folks.

That and the stupid perma-grin he wears like it's a joke. Sorry, I think he just takes things for granted. Ozzie shouldn't stand for it.

Rios for sure gets that 2nd one, but the 1st one would have taken a great, great play to catch. Jones looked bad on it, but I really doubt he would have had it regardless.

Yep, Ozzie apparently can never make a correct move and Thornton should be pitching the 7-9 every game. A couple weeks ago it would have been "f***in Ozzie, Putz should be INNNN!!!!!"

Well, he gets one of those back!

Well, that helps your cause, Andruw. lol.
