Sox It To Em Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ozzie needs to go in the clubhouse, flip over the food table, throw some bats, and chew the players out ala Danny Glover in Angels in the Outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) Pods should have been running on the first pitch. Then Cintron could have moved him to third. Of course if Mackowiak isn't going to swing it really doesn't matter. I wish they would have left Pablo in. You know if they get him out, its going to be hacking.

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Another one run loss. I think last year's team spoiled us. Mack what are you doing trying to draw a walk with the tieing RISP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 lots of blame to go around, but cintron not letting Pods steal second and then moving him to third is just incredibly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaus kinski Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Crappier AB for Mackowiak-that fat ass has one pitch-he saw it 6 pitches and doesnt offer at strike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ozzie just isn't a good in-game manager. Politte should no longer have a place on this team. BA is pathetic. And Uribe is awful, but I have no idea what they could do about any of these problems. Every single player besides Thornton and Ozuna deserved to lose today. What a garbage display.

PeoriaSoxFan Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think the Uribe negativity is a little over the top. I agree that Gload is basically wasting a spot on the team, although he can hit. This is another tough loss like Saturday. I still say the Iguchi pop out bunt was big in the third. I also don't know why he goes up and swings at the first pitch. Easy for me to say though. Hopefully Jose is his usual self tomorrow and the bats are back. Go Rivera tonight@! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 How do you not have AJP bat for either Anderson or Ozuna? You had Podsednik up batting for Ozuna, that was a good move. You had Cintron up there, a good contact hitter, his job was to move the runner over but he just didn't execute. He swung at the first pitch and the rationale was if Cintron failed to execute then you have him try to steal (which he did). If Pierzynski failed to execute no way was he gonna try to steal. It was a safeguard move. Then it's a choice of Mackowiak or Pierzynski and I can't argue with that call. Mackowiak has always been a decent pinch hitter, but he didn't execute either, he got out thought and aced. It wasn't managing, as much as you like to blame it on that. It was poor execution by a number of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
