TitoMB345 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It's seriously getting to the point where I wouldn't mind a new manager in the offseason. Or maybe create a new position, Pitching Manager. Let Ozzie keep his job so people don't freak out BECAUSE HE WON TEH WORLD SERIES OMGZ! Enough is enough, we've lost an unbelievable amount of games because of bag managing. Now, I'm not saying we would have won all of these games, but Ozzie's bad managing has put so many of them completely out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) How the gosh darn was this game Ozzie's fault? It's Ozzie's fault Iguchi doesn't have the range to get to that softly hit ball? It's Ozzie's fault Iguchi had a mental fart and didn't throw home? You're reaching at best, here. I was saying in general that Ozzie shows no urgency if we're losing. Catalanotto rarely faces lefties, and they don't have anyone dangerous on the bench to come up in that situation. I'd rather take my chances with Cotts against Cat instead of a tired Contreras against someone who always gives us problems. Please don't get me started though on our team speed/defensive range.

We're losing it because only our 3-4-5 showed up on offense, and Jose Contreras just isn't the same pitcher he was during his great stretch. Also, our outfield defense is running in concrete today, and theirs is making some very nice plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Am I seeing this right? Cleveland has left 18 (!!!) on base today? 18?!?!!?! That horseshoe is firmly planted up the collective ass of the Detroit Tigers. I guess I now know how other teams' fans felt about us last season.

RockRaines Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) The 5th run was on pitch number 112 for our starter who wasnt sharp, but Ozzie wanted to get him the victory instead of team. He started the inning off with over 100 pitches, after letting him throw 123 last game. Next time Ozzie, just let the fishing reliever start the inning. How many fishing times have we been burned with X pitcher starting an inning late. He already gave up a big inning. Nice game all around today. The count made the perfect pitch to get him out, it was a good call by ozzie to leave him in. Those runs are on Goooch and Cintron for not letting him know the runner was coming home.
