Hooray for Viz being able to come in in no pressure situations, and lowering that era. And then when he gets into a mess, another reliever bailing him out.  :headbang

I thought be listing Hermanson, Politte, and Jenks people would be smart enough to realize that Viz hasn't been able to have the same situations as Marte.

 

Is it somehow Viz's fault that Hermanson, Jenks, and Politte all have been lights out this year?

 

Have to give props to Marte for the previous series. Can't recall too many pitchers with an infinite WHIP and --- ERA.

It's this simple: Marte adds a lot more potential value to this team than Viz in a 7 game series. Viz is only useful against a team with righties who struggle vs the slider. However, with Duque in the pen, that basically eliminates any of Viz's value. Even though Marte has been such an enigma, he still has a better chance than Viz and getting a big out against someone like G. Anderson or R. Cano. Ozzie just has to use Marte wisely. If the home plate ump has a small zone, Marte likely has no chance of getting 3 strikes over the plate.

How did I know this would come up?

 

I don't recall saying I wanted Viz as the lefty specialist.

 

You guys want Marte as the second lefty man because he is lefthanded.  I have shown you that there are 4 RHP better than Marte at getting lefties out.

 

What is Marte's use again? 

Vizcaino can eat up innings, that is the only time I expect to see him in the playoffs (like the Braves-Astros game on right now.)

 

Marte is completely worthless.

VS. RHP:

Marte: .817 OPS

Viz: .692 OPS

difference: .125

 

VS. LHP:

Marte: .767

Viz: .857

difference: .090

 

Overall OPS:

Marte: .791

Viz: .762

 

Viz > Marte

 

It's not like I want to see Viz pitch.  I rather see both of them not pitch, but I'm a 100% sure that if Marte is on the roster, Ozzie will use his s***ty ass because the batter is left handed.

Why not McCarthy instead of Viz??????

Way to back up your claim.

 

I think I'm really wasting my time with you Mr. Marte Jr.

I like what Marte brings over Viz. Period. I still think Marte will get a huge out for us. I have no faith in Viz to do anything.

That's the f***in thing that worries me, it really could, we could easily lose a game or two because of Damaso.

 

Exactly, I'm not worried about Viz because Ozzie likely won't use him in a big situation. But for whatever reason Ozzie has shown that he will use Marte in a big situation despite Marte not being able to get anyone out in the second half of the season.

I want McCarthy and Vizcaino in the bullpen.

Marte can stay home.

If we have McCarthy what's the point in having Viz? To throw Bp? You might as well include Gload on the roster instead.

That's just it. Everybody has an opinion, and none of them amount to a hill of beans unless your name is Ozzie Guillen, Kenny Williams or Don Cooper.

The thing that I don't like (pardon me if I'm repeating), is that Freddy will go in a potential Game 7.  I'd much rather see Mark or Jon go in a situation like that. 

 

The good news is that the Old Cuban is ready to go in a pivitol Game 5.  That's pretty big.

Freddy in Game 7? Here are the starters:

 

Jose Contreras Game 1 - H

Mark Buehrle Game 2 - H

Jon Garland Game 3 - A

Freddy Garcia Game 4 - A

Jose Contreras Game 5 - A (If needed)

Mark Buehrle Game 6 - H (If needed)

Jon Garland Game 7 - H (If needed)

That's all YOUR opinion yet you think "we all can agree that Marte is better than Viz" despite the stats (i.e. FACTS) saying otherwise.

 

Why not McCarthy over Marte?

Is it Viz's fault that Hermanson, Politte, and Jenks have been this good this year?

Would you rather have Marte s*** his pants in a clutch situation or have Viz do a better job than Marte when he is called upon?

 

You haven't anwered any of my questions, so I'll just move along.

Ozzie does not look at stats? That is the only logical explanation there is.

 

I rememeber hearing someone on the radio a while who had done an interview with Ozzie. About halfway though the interview, someone came in and gave him stats or a scouting report or something liek that, he took it, the person walked out and he threw it in the TRASH!!!
