The Critic Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Wanna know why they're losing tonight? Look no further than that 8th inning. "Get 'em on, get 'em over, get 'em in"? More like: Get 'em on, flyout, flyout, flyout. :puke That was neither small nor smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Anyone else disappointed in the attendance tonight? I'm not sure if there was a post about that. I expected 5k more than what we have tonight. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No one cares. Are you at the game tonight? How can you be disappointed in it then?

Soxbadger Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The problem is Ozzie refuses to sacrifice people to 2nd base. The whole idea of small ball is that you win with singles, you dont win with singles if your players are standing on 1b. Atleast Harris didnt ground into a dp.

fathom Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 So that's what a hard hit ball looks like? I guarantee you that Logan scores this inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could be at the game, I definitely would. I never understand why people take attendance questions so personally? It was a simple question I asked. I thought that we had established more fan momentum than it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had 9 walks, and 12 LOB I have no complaints about Willie tonight at all. Sure, I wish he wasn't swinging for the fences, but that's a team problem. Like I said earlier, I'm very proud of his performance in the field today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Last year Ozzie said the Sox didn't play smallball because he didn't have the personnel. What is going on this year??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) More like Willie swinging hard trying to drive the ball to right field. Atleast he made contact, did not ground into a dp, did not strand a man on 3b with less than 2 outs, etc, etc. He got a good count, tried to hit the ball hard. What do you prefer he did?

Capn12 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yes, wrong mindset by Willie I agree there. But hell, what would you be thinking at this point in the game? I'd be thinking "Even if I do get on and move the runner over, is there anyone in this God forsaken lineup who could actually get a hit with RISP?" Its a complete team effort tonight for the ineptness. Nothing else to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem has been that our big money guys (PK, Everett, Dye) have sucked lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Darrin Jackson said Willie was trying to hit a home run, that does not mean he was actually trying to do it. He was trying to drive the ball. What do you want a hitter to do? Not try and hit the ball hard, lay down a bunt with 1 out and AJP on first base? What besides for hit the ball hard is Harris supposed to do? SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
