Ozzie looking real sharp so far.

Will Ohman is up there on my quickest to hatred list.

Jesus, Will Ohman is such a bucket of suck.

hahahahaha!

Please send Will Ohman down now, ballgame.

Well f***.

And that's why you don't bunt. Ohman's not going to make it until May at this rate. Just a poorly managed/executed game.

Pray he gives up a lot of runs and KW realizes his mistake quickly.

Why are we bringing in our worst reliever in a one run game?

 

 

Sale pitched twice already and we need the L/R match-up at cost no matter hoiw s***ty the left handed thrower is.

 

Where are Santos and Crain......hanarahn and Marson...you gotta be f***ing kidding me.

Hey look, an easy, successful bunt.

At least it's an out, I guess.

Should be 4-1 shortly.

I wouldn't want to be the team offering John Danks 7/$120.

 

 

I don't think there's anything stupid about it at all

 

I don't think it's that ridiculous either, but if you really think about it, unless you lock up an ace in his first arb year, you're going to have to pay him that much money, and a player would be stupid to take anything less. It is the economics of baseball today. If you have an ace on your team, you either have to pay up in both dollars and years or he's gone. I think that for most pitchers the 3 year rule is a sound practice, but the economics of baseball state that you have to give at least 6/100 to a 27-28 year old ace a year away from FA or on the open market. It is what it is. Balta, if Danks takes that next step he's going to get that type of contract. If Danks takes that next step this year, I'd like to see him do it until the ASB next year and if he keeps it up, then talk extension. What do you think would be a reasonable contract to offer Danks if he indeed pitches like an ace for the next two years?

 

Is Ohman only on a one year contract?? Please tell me he's not signed for longer than a year. Please tell me it's not that much money.

If Ohman is truly a "LOOGY" type pitcher, then he ought to be walking Cabrera here.

Ohman is horrid!

If Ozzie doesn't know how to use his players then you can kiss it goodbye, why is he letting Ohman pitch a whole inning? f***ing moron!

If Ohman can't be trusted in these situations he was a bad signing (which he was).

Is Ohman only on a one year contract?? Please tell me he's not signed for longer than a year. Please tell me it's not that much money.

 

2 years I believe.

He's throwin the ball everywhere, 0 control.

7/$120.

 

And I wouldn't want to be the team paying it.

4-1...lovely.

Will Ohman's ERA is in the 40s somewhere, still...

7/$120.

 

And I wouldn't want to be the team paying it.

 

Me neither

Will Ohman's ERA is in the 40s somewhere, still...
