The Ginger Kid Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like DJ's strike out calls - short, enthusiastic. Now, if he would stop trying to speak with a southern accent when waxing philosophical about the old days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfan Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Ok, I'll give you credit...that was good analysis. I thought you were just a Tigers homer. Not at all. Sure it's nice to see them win and all, but I'm not afraid to say we stink, and right now we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like the Montero call by Ozzie, regardless of what happens. It's a long season; let's see what Montero's made of... Yes, exactly. He needed to make a better 0-2 pitch to Vance Wilson though, and he knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) It's inexcusable. Who else would you rather see from our system? There is not an option available now that would be a gaurentee to be better than Montero and you are going to have to pay out the wazoo to get him.

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Montero may have caught too much plate, but at least he threw strikes and made them hit the damn ball, and behind from the count for that matter. Not many have done that out of our pen this year. 3-4-5 up...the deadly trio. Time for some insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Credit to Montero. He didn't look especially good, but he got the job done. Can't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinWhiteDuque Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Good work Montero (and Cotts)! Like a previous poster said, this cannot be a 4-man bullpen. Those guys will be burnt-out by August. Until we go out and get BP help, we will need to rely on Montero and/or ST from time-to-time. Hopefully, Montero will get some positive momentum out of this outing.

Guest JimH Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That a boy Neal!!! Thankfully, Ozzie was smart enough to have a LHP face Granderson. Of course he brought in Cotts to get Granderson, did you imagine he wouldn't? I mean, c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thome whiffs, but hey Walker might be the toughest lefty specialist in the game these days. Here comes the righty Zumaya to face Konerko and Dye. This should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) It wasn't particularly pretty by Montero, but he deserves credit for a job well done. Yep, and his ERA is down to 3.60 now, albeit he's only pitched about 5 innings. It's very Vizcaino like though, and if he can keep it there, he could definitely have a role in this pen.

And I think he can be a Vizcaino type circa 2005 in the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
