QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) I didn't think he has gone through 1 scoreless inning of work this season. I know, it really feels like that. Ozzie has to realize that Vizcaino was just as likely to have a 7 ERA this season as he was to have a 4 ERA. Politte has flat out won the right to pitch in crucial situations.....Vizcaino continues to absolutely suck.

How's this for a pathetic state.....in Vizcaino's 12 outings, he has allowed a run in 7 of them! That's awful for a reliever.

Ozzie is treating Vizcaino like he's a starter right now it seems. Take his ass out Ozzie! When your reliever clearly doesn't have it, you don't let him keep pitching when you have other options. We called up Walker, so we should have plenty of depth in the bullpen.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) Viz hasn't been throwing enough imo which is the reason for his struggles. He was starting to throw the ball damn well now he's just not getting out there. No offense, but that's no excuse for a MLB player. Vizcaino has not looked sharp this entire season.

f*** this. Vizcaino should have been pulled after he walked Hall. It's obvious that he doesn't have anything tonight.....again.

Did Ozzie really just look to the bullpen thinking someone was warming up? It really looked that way. Hopefully that's not what happened.

Politte and Vizcaino need to switch roles. One is throwing great right now, while the other clearly is struggling.

I've watched Vizcaino for the last few years, and he was never so slidder-happy like he is now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Mental lapse by Pauly, 6 to 5. Too many mental lapses it seems like, doesn't it?

Konerko should have gone home with that ball. Assuming Huff was going on contact, he would have had him out easily.

That umpire totally missed that pitch. Also, we have to stop letting players steal at will.

I've never seen a game where every ball the Sox hit, it seems to die.....while every ball Tampa hits, it keeps carrying.

Uribe should be moved up in the order right now. He's making very solid contact. He's the anti-Dye.

We have insane warning track power right now.

Cotts will be in for 4 batters. Hopefully he keeps pitching like he has been the last few times.

Right down the plate. At least he didn't walk him. Still, Contreras shouldn't have started this inning if you ask me (and yes, no one asked me).

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) Carl has been awful of late As my brother just said, Everett's righty swing is just awful.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) Neal Cotts or Cliff Politte? Neither......Vizcaino.

I don't want Contreras to start the 6th inning. His control makes a 2 run lead seem very small.

Excellent Iguchi. I don't usually say this, but that was a great call in that situation. Well done Ozzie!

Seen this story play out before.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) If crede does not score this inning i break something. I agree. Pods is the type who should be able to hit flyballs when he wants to.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 11, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) I have one request: Let Widger play right field one day a week. Haha. I'm not sure how he handles 1b, but I wouldn't mind him giving PK some rest there if he's capable of playing the position.

I said it a few weeks ago......Widger is our most dangerous hitter. He constantly puts the sweet spot of the bat on the ball.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 11, 2005 -> 12:58 AM) Contreras back to that turtle pace without AJ catching...now the catcher interferance....thankful nothing came of it though Hopefully, A.J. will catch Contreras almost all the time. It was the right call by Ozzie tonight to play Widger against a lhp, with a day game tomorrow vs a rhp.
