qwerty Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Only thing more sickening than the home run was seeing how giddy that sox fan was for catching the ball. This right here is the reason why you dont bring in the closer in a tie game. Your best pitcher in the pen is your closer. A 0-0 game is actually more of a pressure situation than when a closer usually comes into the game. There is no one else better suited for the situation. The decision to bring in jenks was the right one, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Enough already...Ozzie has one thing that you don't have...a World Series ring. (waiting for the inevitable, "Players won that championship in spite of Ozzie" comment) Funny, you called it. That's exactly what I planned to say. Anyone who has payed attention since 2006 when this team came back down to earth can see Ozzie as an in-game manager has NO CLUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 um, bringing in the closer in the top of the 9th, game tied, is common practice. Why is Ozzie getting called out for Jenks catching too much of the plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(waiting for the inevitable, "Players won that championship in spite of Ozzie" comment) No, really. What did Ozzie do to win that series? Did he pitch throughout the playoffs? No, he put out Sunday lineups that virtually guaranteed we couldn't get on a sustained winning streak because we could never take more than 2/3 in a series. I like Ozzie, but he makes some terrible, undefendable decisions, especially considering he's been managing for 4+ years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he put out Sunday lineups that virtually guaranteed we couldn't get on a sustained winning streak because we could never take more than 2/3 in a series. The Sox had at least 3 separate 8 game winning streaks in 05, maybe 4...and notably, 2 of them happened right at the end of the season, where our guys were simply more able to push for a few more games than the other teams were.
