southsideirish71 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Notice that the Sox can't get any win streaks longer than 8? The highest last season was 8 as well, and we did it a few times. Oh well. When we get to 8 games, Ozzie must run out at least 3 or more subs to make sure that winning doesnt get to our heads.

GoodAsGould Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I honestly think Ozzie wanted us to lose that game. Plays 3 bench players all on the same team. Keeps Garland in when he obviously should of been pulled after the 7th. For some unknown reason gives Reed an IBB. I guess Ozzie only likes to win 8 in a row.

southsideirish71 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Well, our offense was due for a crappy night like this. Good to see Garland pitch well. Good to see Cliff and Neal pitch well. I have a funny feeling our offense would be a bit better if the regulars were out there with maybe one sub.

Heads22 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Seems like we can at least draw a few positives out of tonight. BA's coming around, looks like Cliff and Neal settled down, as well as Jon after the beginning. You'll have these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe not. Career numbers say otherwise. THey sure didn't do all that much when they were in there. But either way, Ozzie doesn't manage for just one game. He'll continue to do this for as long as he manages. We haven't had that many different lineups this year. For the entire homestand it was pretty much the same guys.

SoxAce Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Tough loss today man. BA kept it goin, but we just couldn't get it done. Let's take 2-3 then which we could use since we have not played well in West Coast games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big deal in the overall scheme of things....but winning the first game on this road trip would have been huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well, that game was a roller coaster and unfortunately went down at the end....Dunno why Reed was intentionally walked but whatever....Just start another streak.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I do find it ironic though how the Sox had many deep fly balls with their homer swings tonight, but the Mariners won on a little flipper through the left side.

We haven't had that many different lineups this year. For the entire homestand it was pretty much the same guys. When he plays mass subs we lose, pretty much that is how it was last year, and that is pretty much how it has gone this year. When he plays the regulars our offense rocks and we look a lot better. In the Garland Dept. When you are up 3-2 late in a game, your pitcher has a guy leading off that is batting like .375 against career wise and has hit the ball hard everytime you go to your well rested bullpen. Our pen was well rested, our starters have gone deep in every game this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Another 1 run loss this season, something that hardly ever happened last season. Hell, I thought we could had stole this one. The Mariners are horrible in one run games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
