G&T Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) Lefty should be in for Kubel too, more bad managing. Linebrink gets out of it, and our manager somehow gets away with not doing his job. PHEW!! When the bullpen is good, the manager looks good.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) When you have Crede and Toby doing a rundown, the lack of speed makes it hard to get a quick out. Speed is irrelevant if you do a run down right, and we can't. It's so basic too, just a pet peeve of mine to see us bad in every run down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) a little PBP pleae Mauer walked. Morneau fouled out. 2 wild pitches sent Mauer to 3rd. Cuddyer grounded to Crede, and they caught Mauer in a run-down the get him out, Cuddyer to 2nd. Kubel PH and popped out to SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 That was nice but really really bad decision making by Guillen and poor execution by the Twins. Linebrink was scary there. Twins looking to get out of dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (G&T @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:47 PM) When the bullpen is good, the manager looks good. When you have three lefties that can all hit (especially the first two) all face a righty reliever in the 8th inning, it's bad managing. I'm VERY happy we got away with it though.

SoxFan1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 People here make me sick. When Ozzie plays the match-ups and brings in Logan/Thornton, he's wrong and should have brought in his set-up man and is micro-managing. But when he brings in his set-up man, he's wrong for not bringing in the LOOGY and playing the match-ups. Give me a f***ing break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a f***ing break. If he had brought in a lefty for Mauer and Morneau and been burned, i'd have blamed the players (whoever was pitching) for not performing. All you can do is use common sense and play matchups, which Ozzie didn't do in the 8th. It's not that hard to grasp.

This is what he should of been doing for years. The 50 changes based on what paw the pitcher has to match up with what paw the hitter has jazzes everything up. I am shcoked that he has adapted to this level of end of the bullpen management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to say I can't believe how much ozzie is overusing some of these guys, but I had a feeling this was going to happen with a few key guys, that he just wouldn't get them the days off that they should be getting.

I hear you, nobody ever criticized Torre when he brought Mariano in the 8th to face 5 out of 6 lefties. If it is so easy to manage , get an interview.
