sox-r-us Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) So we are 4-1 and trying to sweep the Twinkies and focking Guillen begins his tinkering Why was Pods benched yesterday instead of Ozuna after his first two games in the Twinkie dome? Why was Iguchi benched in one of the games in the Twinkie dome? Why is AJ rested today for Widger? Why is Ozuna playing instead of Uribe? I swear Guillen is as bad as Jerry M in terms of tinkering. I know the bench should play too to be useful when needed, but we are playing our freaking division rivals right now. We have a chance to get ahead 5 games in the division when the first 15 games are done. And this dumbass decides to rest the hot players killing all momentum. We have an off day tomorrow too. I swear Ozzie sucks at some of his decisions. :banghead Of course, now Widger will go and have a career day to prove me wrong Edited April 11, 2005 by sox-r-us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) 1.) Podsednik was benched for Ozuna because Podsednik is a lefty and they were facing a nasty lefty pitcher. It was a bad matchup for him. 2.) Willie had good numbers against Kyle Lohse. Ozzie played the lefty against the righty. Managers do this all the time. 3.) A.J. has caught five games in a row. Ya think he may need a rest? 4.) Uribe is sick so Ozuna is starting in his place today. Edited April 11, 2005 by Jabroni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 What did Ozuna do yesterday? Have you compared to what Pods is doing? And if he had to play why was he not replacing Crede...you know the guy who was single handedly responsible for that error that led to the Torri H HR.

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 the only thing that would make this topic worse is Jugger showing up and s***ting all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ozzie doesn't trust Ozuna's defense at 3rd base to give him a start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no, but like I said, when you are playing against your division with a day off the next day, you should field your best team period. What part of that you do not understand? And to the person who said Pods was benched yesterday because of the tough lefty-lefty matchup against Santana, then wy was AJ not benched yesterday and made to play today instead?

Hitting in the .210's is awesome for podsednik and that was not an error by cruddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 And Millwood looks like Roger Clemens again....gee I wonder if that has anything to do with our last 4 hitters being 0.125 0.200 0.000 0.182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure A.J. was started against the Twins last night to once again f*** with the Twins' hitters. Before the series began, Jacque Jones even told his teammates not to listen to the crap A.J. would taunt them with from behind the plate. "What part of that you do not understand?"
