Frankensteiner Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) KW better get himself a #3 hitter this offseason. Why wasn't this done at the deadline? AJP deserves the worthless piece of s*** award for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Why didnt Ozzie pinch hit for AJ with the bases loaded, when AJ who cant hit a LOOGY had a LOOGY pitch against him. Corpseball again. Nice way to play momentum. We have a 17 game winner on the mound, and they have a pile of s*** and we lose this. Carl Everett what can I say, can we drop him out of the lineup.

Dick Allen Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Losing games like this really hurt. Hopefully, its not a prelude to another tailspin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Sox played way too casual in this game. We blew a lot of scoring opportunities. AJ hitting 3rd is a nightmare. He killed two rallies himself. Now the Tigers feel like they can get us, it will be much more difficult to win tomorrow night. We really need to win 3 in a row so we go into Cleveland having secured a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 CAN WE PLEASE GET RID OF EVERY THREAD TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFF MATCH-UPS? Seriously, it's like every time this team wins 2 games, people think the playoffs are locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Politte gave up one HR before the All Star Break. He has given up 6 homeruns since then. I think someone figured something out, or he has lost some of his edge. Maybe Detroit just owns him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has given up 6 homeruns since then. I think someone figured something out, or he has lost some of his edge. I think he's injured. He's lost several MPH off his fastball. He's pitching with cunning and guile right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has given up 6 homeruns since then. I think someone figured something out, or he has lost some of his edge. His velocity is down a few mph, and his control hasn't been the same. I'm not blaming him though. Our offense just can't execute late in the game. You can tell our hitters get completely out of focus with RISP. Only Cy Mays sucking beyond belief teased some people into thinking the offense was back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.J. even mentioned that Cliff isn't throwing as many fastballs as he was before. He's been relying more on sliders and changeups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he'd had a couple of days off, and if the game went to Extras who knows how long it could have gone. I can't fault Ozzie for leaving Politte in. Probably a silly move to take out Cotts. But no good reason to take out Clifford. The offensive execution lost this game. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 If they wanna play like s*** before they head into cleveland and thinking they can just beat up on them to win the division their nuts, they need to play everygame like their playing cleveland. I swear ozzie doesn't have a f***ing clue, even though Everett got on base tonight he should still be benched, looks like a damn lumberjack out there. Oh yeah and maybe he might want to start pinch hitting some guys because AJ today killed us. It's gonna be nice seeing Cleveland oust us because of our DUMBASS manager. :headshake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank the Tank 35 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I wonder what Politte's stats are when pitching more than one inning. It seems to me the only time he really gets knocked around is when he's left in for more than one inning. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much that story. With that in mind and having 3 catchers on the roster, we can pinch hit for AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
