Kid Gleason Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 THAT WAS CLOSE, HE JUST MISSED IT!!! O.K., I'm pooped of the optimism. I tried it for a little while, and it failed. I'm going to just enjoy these silly Miller Lite commercials now. Miller on Mars. That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'll give Ozzie this: In games where he manages poorly, he goes all out to manage poorly. This game, and the Angels debacle with Timo at first and using Walker in a crucial situation were sure dandies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 QUOTE(infohawk @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) I don't typically question Ozzie, but to me El Duque is really a five-inning pitcher. Especially against a team that can hit like the Rangers. I don't know why he didn't just turn the game over to the bullpen after taking the lead. I'm an Ozzie fan, but I don't see what there is to gain by leaving El Duque in beyond 80-85 pitches against the Rangers. The same thing happened last week against Seattle. I feel he left him in one inning too long. What happened? Seattle tied it up. Ozzie usually wants his starters to get the victory, but most of the time it backfires and it ends up putting them in a deep hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Score? Notice how Hawk has that same tone in his voice that he's had the past 4 Septembers? He's a company man, so he may not say it, but he's also a former player, so we can all guess what he's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're struggling like we are, you need all the help you can get from your manager. Did Ozzie really think that this lineup today was going to score a lot of runs? Did Ozzie really think that after Duque allows 4 straight base runners to start the 6th inning, he should leave Duque in for another batter? All I know is that I'm happy the new rules are in place, or else this would have gotten really, really ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infohawk Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm going to feel sick if the bullpen shuts the Rangers down for the rest of the game. It will make me dwell on the fact that El Duque should have been pulled to start the sixth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray that we don't completely choke and miss the playoffs. However, if we do, Hawk is going to make a complete fool out of himself, and have excuse after excuse.

HOPEFULLY they will turn the page in September and get there s*** together. Exactly. Everything on and off the field (HAWK!) have been extremely painful. To think that we're 6 games up right now is actually uplifting, because the way we've played in August, we don't deserve that big of a lead. If the Indians don't cool off, we won't make the playoffs. That's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
