justBLAZE Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Rumor today is that he won't return this month. First they say nothing is even wrong with the guy, next thing you know he's out for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Dotel is the 2008 version of 2005 Marte ... when that guy would come in you wouldn't breath for 45 minutes. And here we go...a game in total control pissed away by our trillion dollar bullpen. When is Linebrink back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 A quick walk. I could see us giving up the lead with the next batter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Carasco made some pretty good pitches there. Ump is really not helping us at all this inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) Well, a 4-0 lead, you shouldn't assume that you should treat your starter like Leyland leaving his franchise ace Verlander out there for 130 pitches. Next, Ozzie will be second-guessed for not bringing Jenks in here, instead using Carrasco in a position he's not too familiar with. lol, what a bogus statement. I said it before, and I'll say it again, pitch count is the biggest load of garbage used to determine if the pitcher is over-used or tired.

caulfield12 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Just brutal managing....nothing like using your 2nd best reliever for one batter. You want Thornton to face a right-handed Youkilis? Well...obviously Carrasco doesn't belong anywhere but in mop-up or before the 7th inning. But I don't trust Thornton there either, not against a RH batter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 hopefully we somehow survive this, if we lose this game thats twice in a row we lost because of coaches instead of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the day after he started tossing, everything tightened up again. I wouldn't be suprised if we don't get the Linebrink we had all year.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, pitch count is the biggest load of garbage used to determine if the pitcher is over-used or tired. Tell that to Wood, Prior, Hudson, Zito and Mulder. If Dotel can't hold a 4-0 lead, then we don't deserve to win. Simple. He gave Buehrle a chance to start the 8th and get Varitek. You put their worst hitter on base twice in the game...it's hard to argue with that decision, with 110 pitches already.

Makes you wonder how pitchers used to throw 150 pitches and still get a full career in under their belt. Personally, I hate relief pitchers...they are a necessary evil in modern day baseball, but with a few exceptions they are basically failed starting pitchers.
