BigSqwert Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Farmer questioned why Pods didn't even make a throw into 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Having Thornton pitch to one of the most patient hitters in the game, bringing Cotts in in a non mop up spot, or Mack being in center, which gave the Yanks the run that is why they had a lead starting the 9th. Which move is the worst one by Ozzie tonight?? At usual, there are multiple candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 02:52 AM) If he scores, I bet we get 1 off of Rivera. I thought you were leaving? I have absolutely no problem with complaining, but maybe it's time to get a little perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he had no chance on that play. There's still no excuse for his lack of a throw home in the first inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Now Ozzie brings in Jenks in a NSS in the middle of an inning. He's aware that Jenks sucked coming in this type of spot BEFORE his recent struggles right?? Why wouldn't Jenks start this inning if he's coming in?? *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which move is the worst one by Ozzie tonight?? At usual, there are multiple candidates. Thornton hasn't been good lately, but he got Damon out and probably should of gotten Jeter out. I have ZERO confidence in Cotts and thought for sure he'd screw up, only I thought it would of been a slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly its not Cotts, and the rest of the bullpen is basically used other than Riske. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to play Mack in CF, and his error in the 1st cost us the run that is the current difference in the score. That and the fact he keeps putting Cotts in during big spots when he's probably our worst bullpen option right now.

fathom Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 A lot of credit goes to Torre for the quick hook of his starter, and his use of the bullpen. He's actually an underrated manager, from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about now, when he put Jenks in. Clearly, you didn't want Cotts in there, so you must have wanted someone else. Who is that magical player?

IF we lose tonight, it would be our 7th or 8th loss on the year due exclusively to a bad play in CF by Mack in a close game. Shouldn't Ozzie get the message here that you can't put him out there? Plus, Brian hits righties better than lefties anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
