CYGarland Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) Another situation where Ozzie puts his relievers in a terrible spot by not just letting them start the inning. He's done this about 20 times in the last month and a half. Oz's handling of the starter's this year has been unbelievably bad. He must think were still in the playoffs, hasnt he noticed that most of these guys cant make it past 6 innnings, let alone 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 The good news is Vazquez is now in line to get his 100th loss of his career. Ozzie leaving him in to possibly get the loss goes against the way he's managed ever since he's got here. I really would love to know why he manages Vazquez different than everyone else.

southsideirish71 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well there is the usual Javy Vazquez 5 runs by 6 innings that we are used to seeing. Nice job Cotts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxman72 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Zito who? If the White Sox do indeed stand pat it will be a shot to the gut. The Yankees just got better and it looks like the Twins will make a move as well. We still have a chance to sweep, but we do not look good. I mean come on Chen pitched today. They are making thigs look so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ozzie doesn't seem to take winning seriously. It's no surprise that the team has shown much less heart this year compared to last. How can you stay competitive when your manager cares about individual pitching stats more than winning the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO...were actually supposed to agree with you when you're trying to make an argument that the distance of the HR is more telling than the actual run being scored?

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Obviously, Vazquez needs to be abducted before the 6th innning in his next start to prevent him form even seeing the mound otherwise Ozzie will march him out there like Joseph Stalin marching Russian soldiers through the field to find land mines.

BigSqwert Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Javy finishes the game with a 5.44 ERA on the season. Spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 This 6th inning is so fishing stupid. If you're going to build Javy's confidence you're going to do it by letting him pitch out out of his struggles, or put him in a position to win or at least not lose the ballgame. Ozzie did that with McCarthy last year against the Cubs, and now the worst possible has happened. Bullpen order of confidence: Jenks Thornton Macdougal Riske (as long as it's not close and in the 8th) McCarthy Cotts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYGarland Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 12:28 PM) If we somehow make the playoffs its because Buehrle got his crap together and Garcia keeps improving. So if we do make the playoffs Buehrle is still in the rotation as is Garcia. You're taking a big chance with Bmac starting. He has been on/off this whole season. we will be dam lucky to make the playoffs if Oz keeps managing like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 So much for the bullspiff that Ozzie and Coop told us about taking this guy out before the 6th. Experimenting is what you do in Tuscon, not when we are in the middle of a pennant race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Vazquez is useless as a starting pitcher right now. If you can only give a team 5 innings every start its almost a hinderance to your pitching staff than it is a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how many runs Javy gives up if he's left in there, you can't leave him in to get killed, he has a history of completely imploding in the 6th, he should have been pulled before immediately following the HR.
