doUrememberwhen Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I motion to send Ozzie home after the 8th inning EVERY game. His continuously stupid choices(or lack of any choice)in tight spots are really wearing thin. Maybe he can go on the DL for brain-freeze. In the words of comic book store guy--Worste 9th inning coach ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Funny thing is that I thought he lost this game in the 7th inning by leaving Vizcaino in when it was obvious he didn't have anything. Ozzie failed at his job tonight by not putting us in the best position to win (that's all you can ask for in a manager). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Look at the standings and our record in one run games. Then look in the mirror because you'll see someone who is totally wrong on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISF Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I think McCarthy should take the Buerhle route to stardom. Waive Vizcaino and bring up McCarthy for a year of long relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 10, 2005 -> 08:45 PM) Look at the standings and our record in one run games. Then look in the mirror because you'll see someone who is totally wrong on this. Bill James thinks that a team's record in one-run games is directly related to the strength of said team's manager. In which case we couldn't complain too much about Ozzie thus far. That being said, I hate the decision to bring Shingo in a tied game when one run makes us lose. He's allowed more home runs than some of our starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie failed at his job tonight by not putting us in the best position to win (that's all you can ask for in a manager). Honestly, has Vizcaino ever had anything? -- He throws nothing but 81-83MPH sliders up there. He falls behind it the count, and if you're at all patient, he's bound to hang one.

fathom Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Yes, but you'd have to be crazy to think KW would actually make that move. With the amount of money pitchers are making, you're not doing your organization any favor by starting the arbitration clock on a future starting pitcher just so that you can fill a hole in your bullpen. A wiser move would be to acquire a reliever, and let McCarthy get more seasoning in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISF Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Alright, let's just make it official: I am releasing Scott Podsednik as my whipping boy. He will now be given full respect and called by his actual name. Luisa Vizcaino, you my b**** now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomsonmi Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 If I was managing this team we'd be 33-0. Because everytime Shingo gave up a homerun in the 9th this year I wouldn't have put him in the game. And, every time one of our runners gets thrown out on the bases I wouldn't have had them steal. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomsonmi Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I noticed that Podsednik has been thrown out twice stealing this year in 19 tries. Why the hell did Ozzie send him those two times? Hermanson has given up no runs this year. Why don't we just pitch him the 7-9 innings every single night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him in AAA so he could learn how to avoid the longball in a bandbox. After all, USCF is not pitcher's dream. I don't really care about the strikeouts. I just want to see him simultaneously keep the walk rate and HR rate low. That will get it done at the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Charlotte's a perfect place for him to do that, since it's a lot like the Cell HR wise. Keep B-Mac down there, let him progress, so that when he does come up, he isn't giving up HR's at the rate he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
