hah. you're ridiculous. of course we can't guarantee how any other pitcher would perform, but the calls a manager makes need to be made based on averages and situations and recent performance. based on all 3 of those, you do not put Scott Linebrink in that inning. Simple as that.
No I agree with Greg. We are all rabid fans, but we are FANS. we aren't in the clubhouse so how could we possibly know what is going on or what Ozzie could be thinking? As FANS, we aren't privvy to that information. Thornton could be sick for all we know. We piss and moan all the time about the decisions that Ozzie makes - and that's okay. As fans we are allowed to do that. But in reality none of us knows what we are talking about as to what goes on in that clubhouse. If we did then we would be on the coaching staff. Just my 2 cents...
