We can get 3 more outs, right?

If you don't like it, f*** you.

 

Ozzie on the Toronto sports feed right now.

I heard that Kendall is batting .576 aginast Linebrink in his career. On Sunday with the man on third and two outs put Kendall on and let the .175 hitter beat you. No the .175 hitter was left handed that and the bunt are the only situational managing moves Guillen makes.

 

The Twins may get swept and the Sox should have swept the Royals and should sweep the O's. They are in a pennant race and need to play like it.

Ya, Hawk really needs to stop with the "Don't stop now boys," f***in annoying. And boy does Mark Teahan seem like the biggest upgrade of all time right now.

So, what... We'll be 3.5 games out if we hold on to win this game?

Ozzie is arguably the worst manager in baseball from a decision making/tactician standpoint....really...is there anyone worse?

Yes. 3.5 back seems so much closer than 5 for whatever reason.

You're right, you and greg and others NEVER speak in absolutes. Bunting with a runner on first, no outs just is not working at all. I cannot believe there is anyone still trying to argue otherwise.

 

I just try to have a wee bit of common sense and not have a coronary every time ozzie speaks. How is having a runner in scoring position with

Pierre continues to play great baseball. The #1, 4, 7 and 9 spots are flourishing right now.

That are employed? I like Guillen and think he does things very well but he does some simple things wrong.

I'll put "dont stop now boys" right up in the same category with Dont Stop Believin', Your Love, and...well...Hawk himself

 

Category being: things that are totally wrong but somehow I have a fondness for.

What is Juan Pierre hitting with RISP these days?

 

The first two months, he was worse than Kotsay even. I would think he might be one of our best from June 9th onwards.

Cause what's the point of having Pierre if you're not going to let him steal to get into scoring position. You might as well have an OBP god like Thome being your leadoff hitter if you're not going to trust him. Now, if Pierre is on 2nd base and no outs, I'm fine with the bunt.

I hate the 9th inning.

Moving the guy to third to get him home on a ball in play is good. Needing a hit with only two rather than three opportunites is my problem. Unless the bunter is a bad hitter like the NL pitcher or kotsay.

That's kind of a silly stat. You're talking about a 15 plate appearance sample size (Kendall v. Linebrink). I don't think there are very many situations where it makes sense to intentionally walk Jason Kendall.

Y tu Sergio? Brian Roberts must be hitting like .900 in his career against the Sox from the 8th inning on.

'sphincter time' oh jesus

I wish we saw Sergio's slider more often. All the damage against him seems to be done via his fastball/change-up.

Great...Santos has been marginal at best it seems for a while now.

Please stop now.

I wonder why Ozzie changed his philosophy. He always had Pods steal 2nd in 2005 instead of bunting him over.

 

And god our bullpen f***ing blows.

WTF is going on? Thats now 2nd and 3rd no out. We better pull Santos if he doesn't get Markakis.

Great.

 

This is getting to be scary...very.

Awful.

 

Simply awful
