South Side Fireworks Man Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Can't they tell in the bullpen when a pitcher is warming up that he just doesn't have it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 It's easy to understand fathom. If he's cleared to play, then he's cleared to play. You ever played hurt in a sport???? What can't you understand about a closer being put in to close??? You don't yank him. You let him get the save or fail like EVERY f***ing manager in baseball does!!!!!

My god. Whhy would you leave him in if he's hurt and obviously doesn't have it? It was shockingly appearant that he had nothing tonigh, just look at my posts over the past few pages, he needs to be pulled imediately. he had nothing, you have to get him out of there and get someone in who can get people out.

fathom Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 9, 2006 -> 03:41 AM) You guys are A BUNCH OF f***ING WHINERS! Blame f***ing everything on Ozzie. At the sight of Hermanson warming up, you guys were pulling for Jenks to close. Now Jenks failed, you blame on Ozzie. You guys are so f***ing pathetic! No, we didn't want Hermanson to be closing. I have no problem with Jenks starting this inning. However, once he got to a situation where Sizemore could do damage, you have to pull him.

My god. You are forgetting one part of your little simulation. Lets add the fact that they packed him up, put him on a plane and send him home, then they put him in a machine to see why his hip hurts because its obviously is bothering him. You dont give a guy an MRI unless you think something might not be kosher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god. I can't believe anyone could be this dense. Jenks is hurt. He's been saying all week that he's hurt and obviously isn't 100%. When you put your closer into the game in THAT situation, then he has to be on a short leash. THAT is the situation where you don't leave your closer out there to give out double after double after double. Do you get it...finally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 I don't blame Ozzie for Jenks inability to get it done tonight or in Boston last series, like I don't blame Ozzie when Thome strikes out swinging or Konerko douple plays or AJ swings at a first pitch that would've hit him if he hadn't swung.

greg775 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Because guys, the way teams do it is the f***ing trainer deems if a guy if fit to play or not. That's why they call it a TEAM. If the f***ing trainer and GM deem the guy fit to play he is our CLOSER. He gets the call. He failed; but if you want to blame the manager every night, have at it. When are you going to blame our f***ing players???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Torres will pull Mariano after two men got on base when his team is leading by two runs? Have some decency to acknowledge this is all on Jenks!
