joejoesox Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) There's just no excuse to have a pitcher with a 5.52 ERA coming into a 1 run game in the 8th inning with 50 games left in a pennant race. if he can't throw strikes, why the f*** is he on the team. that's my question. that ERA is laughable, i'm sure his whip is hilarious... yep, 1.64 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic went out the window, when Ozzie decided to trot General Soreness out in CF, with a young kid with a no hitter, in the 7th inning in a 1-0 game. None of these scream 38 year old corner OF in CF.

There won't be a pennant race with 15 games to go (see 2003) if we completely burn out and overexpose Thornton, Dotel and Jenks. Linebrink probably won't be coming back...and Ozzie needs to find a fourth reliever that he can count on somehow. There's no better way than now. He could be forced to use someone like Russell in Minnesota with a week to go and down by two games in the standings, it's better to establish exactly what he has right now. Russell has the third best "stuff" of anyone in the bullpen, arguably (although you could certainly make a case for Dotel, even with a diminished arsenal after injury). He should/could be someone you project as that missing piece, because we're not going to get much better from someone we can sneak through waivers, unless KW is willing to take on another big contract (Dotel, Linebrink, Jenks after this season, Thornton and MacDougal) in the pen.

Russell's stuff is nothing special. 94 mph fastball, extremely flat slider. I'm not blaming Ozzie for this....KW's inability to find another righty reliever is killing us.

nitetrain8601 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 9th double. We wasted a couple of bullpen arms. I'm not blaming this on Ozzie, but I am blaming him for tomorrow when he says we have a tired bullpen. He should've left Horacio in there, but took him out for no reason.
