Harry Chappas Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) We started off the year struggling vs starting pitching but hitting the bullpen hard. It's completely changed since mid-May. They can hit s***ty relievers. It is the good bullpen guys that shut them down. Aren't they 2-30 or something when trailing after 6?

BigSqwert Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yay. 7-8-9 hitters for the 9th. Thanks Ozzie for starting Richard on short rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 No Pinch Hitters Ozzie. We have been rotten with pinch hitters this year. Its basically an automatic out. Just ride what you have out today and hope it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Thanks Ozzie for starting Richard on short rest. Just an absolutely idiotic decision coming off of the start in KC where he ran out of gas. We treat him like he's a 20 year veteran with a rubber arm, when really his most success is pitching like a power lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Wise in Left Now? So an automatic out leads off the inning instead of Nix who has proven he can make solid contact.... Nice Ozzie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We treat him like he's a 20 year veteran with a rubber arm, when really his most success is pitching like a power lefty. Come on he threw 70 pitches if that last Sunday. He needed to have a better effort today and he sucked. 6 runs over 5 innings would've given reason to complain about hte short rest. He has gotten seemingly worse every time out. I like Danks going on extended rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
