fathom

I like the idea of bringing up Walker for the Tampa series. They have a few dangerous lefty hitters, and we can use Walker to get one out hopefully.

Just so people know, giving oxygen to a player in that situation is a common practice. If there was a neck injury suffered by Zaun, the personnel on the field took way too long getting him immobilized and into the ambulance. High dose steroids needs to be given as soon as possible in severe situations. Hopefully, it's just a concussion (even though that's bad enough).

Donn Pall has the greatest record in the history of broadcasters for his team!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 8, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) WHITE SOX WINNER!!!! And Ditto Jabroni's comments. You can't blame it on Marte coming in, that's absolutely stupid... Wow, all I was saying was that if Hermanson stayed in like we wanted, then who the hell knows what would have happened. Would that play have likely happened if Hermanson was still in? You never know. It's not like I'm blaming Marte for it happening.

Really wish Hermanson would have been left in to close this game. Very likely the Zaun thing wouldn't have happened than also.

Damn! Marte just rolled that one up to the plate.

QUOTE(Reddy @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) not necessarily... if it were life threatening they still wouldnt want to move him without immobilizing his neck/head etc etc Yeah, I was just relaying what a doctor had just told me about the situation. This s*** scares me, especially after the AFL player died last month.

I'm hoping this is all precautionary stuff. They're taking their time out there, so if it was life-threatening, he would have been on his way to the hospital by now.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Does that really matter at this time? No. We all wish the best for Zaun. It was a simple question I asked to anyone who might be listening on the radio. Sorry if I sounded like an ass.

Anyone hear if Adams is hitting here, or will there be a ph?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) This delay could hurt Marte. Throw some pitches! He's throwing.

That does not look good for Zaun. He took a direct blow from Lopez's knee.

Lopez was very, very close to coming off the base too early there. Thankfully, the umps rarely call that.

This is the risk you get bringing in Marte. Even DJ thinks Hermanson should have been left in to pitch.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) Great call by Ozzie here. Zaun isn't as good from the right side. That's true. See my post about keeping Marte in after this batter. I'd much rather face McDonald than Hudson or Cat.

Why Ozzie? If you're going to bring in Marte here, you have to keep him in to face McDonald so that Catalanotto and Hudson don't bat. I would have liked to see Hermanson try to close it out. Good job Dustin!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) Why? He's been hot lately, why not go with him? He has been? I know he's picked up the saves, but he hasn't been throwing the ball very well. Oh well, lets hope he can get the job done!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) Takatsu warming... I'll say it right now: that's a dumb decision by Ozzie.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) Agreed. He only faced 2 batters and threw 7 pitches. Not only that, but he's easily been our best reliever. If the Blue Jays tie it or beat us with Hermanson pitching, then so be it. I'd much rather have Hermanson blow a game than to have Shingo come in, walk two batters, and then give up an extra base hit. Also, Toronto has some tough lefties on the bench that could ph against Shingo.

Keep Hermanson in for the 9th!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 8, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) There people can simmah down. Buehrle's done. Agreed, he got him out, that's all we can ask for. The only reason we wanted Marte in to face Koskie was that Koskie is 1-13 in his career against Buehrle w/8 Ks, I believe they said. Buehrle with one of the most deceiving 7.1-2 ER games you'll see.

Hermanson coming in here.

Great pitch there by Buehrle to strikeout Koskie. It's so risky throwing him inside because he'll try to get hit.

Marte should be in to face Koskie here.

5 straight awful AB for the Sox. For some reason, it seems like we're going to need another run to win this game.
