fathom Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 A.J. has played just as bad as Dye has the last week. He's been terrible behind the plate and offensively. Ah look, another game in which Ozzie is a batter too late in pulling the pitcher. Nothing new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 This is a perfect example of a pitcher beating himself tonight. A Balk. Several walks. A Wild pitch. Fastballs down the middle. He deserved to get beat tonight, plain and simple. We are lucky it's not 7-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegionSox Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I don't think it's Ozzie fault that we had a balk,throw into center field and a wild pitch all right in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 One thing I've noticed about AJ is he very, very rarely has gone to the mound to settle our pitchers down. Bad luck tends to come on a roll, as a catcher you need to get out there and ice the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I've NEVER seen a pitcher like Jose Contreras. Maybt eh most frustrating pitcher of my lifetime. Reall a Jekyl and Hide guy if there ever was one. He seems to lack ANY mental toughness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, instead of bringing Cotts in to face the lefty Jones, Ozzie kept Jose in....and they got a very undeserved run because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contreras is out there shaking him off every other pitch. AJ should of gone out there multiple times and smacked him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 This has that bad feel to it that those rainy nights at the Jake have when we are down 8-0 and Hawk and DJ are in crisis mode. Funny thing is that its still 3-1, but you don't win games agains their bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 The question I have for people is this: Did anyone really think Contreras was going to get out J. Jones that at-bat? If you had big doubts, then you have to pull the starter for a lefty reliever in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
