fathom Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 There's going to be a ton of Ozzie bashing around baseball and the radio today. The decision to start Duque today was worse than Manuel's decision to start Cotts against the Yankees. At least some people thought Cotts had a chance to succeed that game.

Dick Allen Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Vizcaino saves el duque. Only down by 4. It might as well be 20. They aren't going to get 4 off of Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) Well if Bmac is starting the next game why is that a waste. Gives him time to get some work in today before he starts in 5 days. He should of started this game, but our fearless leader forgot the part in his bulls*** press conference when he got hired about playing the game the right way. If 100+ pitches through 3.2 innings giving up 4 runs giving up 8 or more hits is playing the game the right way, then he should of managed the f***ing royals. they play like that all the time.

To be honest with you, I'm glad he started today. They aren't going to beat Santana with any of their starters, so why waste a potential good start, and El Duque showed he should not be on the mound the rest of his life. I doubt even Ozzie could defend him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 If there's any justice in our clubhouse, El Duque will have just cost himself the rest of his starts this year and any chance at being on a playoff roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts another game, you're going to have a lot of people who lose any respect they might still have for Ozzie in that clubhouse. Those players want to win more than any of us, and they know that Duque isn't one of the 5 best options to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Wow. It sounds bad, but this is almost comical to me. Everyone in the free world knew what was going to happen with Duque starting today against Johan.....except Ozzie. We've won 89 games in spite of who we call our manager.

That's a good point, but we still have no clue if Ozzie will let Duque start again. Also, if you don't pitch McCarthy, then the Twins won't get a chance to see him before they face him next week. That could be a lot more important than some f***ing mop-up innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listened to sports radio the past few days, there wasn't one "baseball expert" who had anything good to say about Ozzie. My only hope is that if we do miss the playoffs, he'll be criticized so much that JR has no choice but to fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) I am happy for A-Row and the Sox.

See if one of them can do something. Anderson for Ozuna, Borchard for Dye, and Gload for Everett and the piano he is running with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
