SoxFan1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) So the fact we haven't won games as a manger makes Ozzie a good manager? Whatever you say. The fact is Ozzie does a poor job managing the bullpen. He does almost everything else well, but he's awful at bullpen mixing and matching. Most managers suck at something, but when it's as important as the bullpen it hurts the team. Luckily it hasn't today. I'm sorry. You're 10000% correct. Let's replay that scoreless inning that Linebrink had and see what would have happened had Thornton/Boone came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 8, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) He's not comparing Linebrink to Mariano, he's comparing the situation. Maybe it isn't the best comparison, but it hold water. The fact of the matter is that people here think they are much better managers than Ozzie. How many Major League wins do you guys have as manager? You know what, I just checked some numbers, and gul darnit, they're actually right. I concede. Linebrink is actually a better pitcher against lefties than against righties according to his splits. Last 3 years, Lefties .609 OPS, righties, .730. I still think you put Boone in, but maybe that call wasn't as bad as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (Brian @ May 8, 2008 -> 04:02 PM) AJ???? Nope, and I'm not sure why Toby is batting with a lefty catcher and better hitter available to use. Double play ball, but a GREAT slide by Uribe gets the Sox a run. Well done Juan.

Because it's May 8 and the bench players have to have a chance in those situations. Error by Tolbert and Ramirez beats it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankensteiner Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I love the hustle by Uribe. With that said, I think that's the 3rd time today and 6th or 7th time this series where we had to execute some situational hitting and we failed misreably.

I've always thought splits matter much more for the hitter. Morneau especially, and Mauer also, are much better hitters against righty pitchers.
