Am I nuts, why does Ozzie let that PoS hit in that situation?

 

You will never, ever see him have someone hit for Omar or Pierre.

tying run on second and the RBI machines that are Omar and Juan are left to win the game wow.

 

at least the sac bunt worked.

I wanted Teahen to pinch hit but nooo God forbid Oz ever PH for Pierre . Hell as shallow as they play him not sure even with 2 outs if the tying run scores from 2nd on a hit.

good thing we bunted.

Even a single wouldn't have scored two runs there unless it was hit to right field.

Can't believe Ozzie had AJ bunting there, I'd roll the dice on a lefty hitting against that dude instead of Alexei

 

Swept! Sub-.500, called it

Yes it would have. Rios had a huge lead and would have been off with the pitch.

Exactly but at least Crain got his work in

Yep, know you're right .... it's awful.

Not to left field, which is where Omar and Pierre would have likely hit it to. Wells was playing as shallow as Tampa was vs Pierre. Wells has a great arm for a LF.

Guillen for manager of the year!

You do not have Visquel and Pierre back to back in that situation EVER!

Move Quentin to 3rd in the order, and Dunn to 5th.

Speaking of Tampa...can't wait.

It's happened. I'm sick of Ozzie and want him gone. And for everyone who says all Spring Training, "Don't worry! These games don't count", well yeah...they don't COUNT but they do indicate and to me they indicated more of the same ol' crap.

Nice homestand Sox no wonder you cannot get over 20k a game, it will be less after this road trip from hell.

Then Quentin will start to struggle and Dunn will start to hit.

I had more faith in Vizquel , the RF was shading him to center and I've seen Viz pull it to RF many times.

Forgive my ignorance, but what were the options off the bench there?

I'm not blaming Ozzie for this game. I hate the bunt, but many other managers would have called for it in that same situation.

Teahen

 

If he is not hitting there release him for another bullpen arm.

Does Ozzie ever breath out of his mouth?

Not against 98 mph fastballs. We had a similar discussion last year when he faced Feliz.

Especially with the GIDP machine up at the plate.

You think we will stay 3rd in the CBS power rankings this week??
