Seriously, you swing at that? Holy hell, he sucks. Just an absolutely worthless player from the 7th inning and later.

 

He's pretty terrible, not the same player we saw in 2009. He still had his impressive college mechanics, he's turned into another all or nothing Sox hitter. I want somebody else at 2B next year, glove be damned

Really hate the idea of extending Crain here. Seems like instead of trying to decrease his workload, we're pushing him even more.

Ya, bunting would have been a bad idea there, Ozzie did the right thing by letting him swing away.

Bobby valentine on baseball tonight said that he needs to go get his eyes checked because hes missing balls by a few feet

 

Hell...at this point why not. You'd think somebody already suggested this by now tho...

wait ohman warming? ha good joke oz

Which means Ohman is two batters away from facing Hardy if he pulls Crain.

What is the issue with Matt Thornton right now?

Something that is not good is that Quentin is out of the game. Seemed pretty early to make that move.

Ozzie's anticipating an extra inning game, in my opinion.

Jessie Crain getting the job done!!!

Pitch around him

Well we won't get there if he's going to mismanage the f*** out of his bullpen.

Do we know he wasn't hurt by the HBP? (I'm hoping not....but that didn't happen right before he was taken out)

Markakis maybe but yikes put in matt for him

As he should.

That was strike 3

No barely if even hit him

Much better inning for Crain! Hit a bomb Morel

I was worried about that too. Hope they make it moot here in the 9th.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ozzie doing a masterful job with the pen again tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine how much sense it would have been to keep Quentin in the game and have De Aza bat for Done.

Then why PR for Q?.....

As he should.

This is the first reliever still in the 8th inning!

That was good managing that inning. Hardy is the more dangerous situation than Pie, so he kept the righty in. That's not something Ozzie was doing a month ago.
