Sox get a 3-2 count they are afraid to walk I guess.

You don't get a .556 OPS by being selective

Twins sac bunt and next drives in 2 something Sox never seem to do.

Edited by Soxfest

horrid stretch of games for the sox right now, TB started slow but are playing awesome now, imagine when they get their lineup healthy

 

meanwhile our multimillion dollar DH is being benched, of course Ozzie will act like the excuse of 'Price is a lefty' is valid. Since when do you pay somebody that kind of money who is essentially worthless against LHP

They're also facing Chris Tillman.

Do you really expect Dunn to be able to hit Price, Liriano, etc? No problem with Ozzie benching him.

you gotta admit, he's shown flashes.

 

Of course he has. But when you see the Castro's, McCutchen's, Heyward's, Posey's, ect make pretty effortless transitions to the big leagues it gets rather frustrating.

Sox faced a rookie the other night and choked again.

LOL? Yet Pierre can?

It's Juan Pierre...Ozzie wouldn't have benched him for Barry Bonds in his prime.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 06:41 PM)

Ozzie's not benching Pierre under any circumstance.

Every team in our division has a pitcher better than anybody we have, save the Royals (though will that be true next year?)

 

I'd take Masterson over anybody in our rotation

I like Masterson. But over Danks?

so you are saying the mariners will win the AL?

Only idiot managers use the sac bunt.

So you have no problem with benching Dunn but have no problem with Pierre playing because Ozzie 'won't bench him'

 

People wonder why so many here hate this clown. He makes ridiculous decisions!

True, considering both runners would have scored on the double anyways.

Masterson's got to do it consistently for at least 4 months before you start comparing him to Danks or even Edwin Jackson.

 

And let's see what Peavy can do before we've entirely given up on him, as well.

Of course it's ridiculous, but expecting Ozzie to use his players wisely would be naive now.

Castro swing the bat!

Hell yes, I can't be the only person here who would. Danks is a 6 inning pitcher who consistently has control issues

 

Masterson's a beast who's also a ground-ball machine, something our rotation desperately needs

Who do the Twins have better than Danks? If you're saying Liriano, he's too much of a risk IMO.

So you would have been OK with Teahen in the line up instead? I'm not quite sure who else you would be putting in there.

Seems he's done that a lot this year.
