fathom Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I said it earlier in this thread...it will be a long wknd if Ozzie keeps letting Morneau beat us. He's the best player in baseball right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened exactly as they wanted. Unfortunately it just found a hole. Cuddyer coudl have done the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ha...11 out of the last 17 lefties to face Cotts have a hit. I honestly think this is the worst managed game I've ever seen....and that's hard to do with Ozzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My number 1 rule for a manager is to put your team in the best position to succeed. Ozzie couldn't have managed worse in the last 2 innings.

Dick Allen Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 When guys are as hot as Morneau has been, it makes no difference if its a lefty or righty he's facing. That and the fact that 11 out of the last 17 lefties who have faced Cotts have gotten hits, Ozzie has to be brain damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cuddyer gets the hit, it's on cotts. this is squarely on ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneau is nowhere near the best player in baseball right now. Cotts made a good pitch and it was just a bloop hit that found a hole. I agree that walking Cuddyer was dumb cuz Neal kills righties.

Just reminding you of last year. Thought I remember seeing you say it wouldn't happen again. It isn't worth coming much anymore really. That's why all of the really good posters don't come to the game threads anymore. It's just a big whine fest from 5-year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 19, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) Morneau is nowhere near the best player in baseball right now. It's not really even close. He's on an amazing stretch. Name someone who's been better? He's an RBI machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain081 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 guess the game's not over yet, but it's not looking that great, gotta win tomorrow to keep twins from passing us. god, i'll be happy when we're done playing the twins and royals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
