caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) How could Thornton have gotten Longoria who is right handed??? I don't understand? Don't we need to have a righty pitch him? Kidding. What a joke Ozzie is with this righty on righty BS. Nothing more over played in this game of baseball, that s*** doesn't matter. Bring in your best f***ing pitcher for the 8th and 9th and close the f***ing god damn game out, for christ f***ing sake! I'm a little relieved Ozzie didn't bring in Jenks to face Longoria...just a hunch, seems Ozzie had the same feeling, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:36 AM) What pitcher in the bullpen isn't scary right now? We have to get something out of Pena, Linebrink seems done, at least for now...until his good fastball comes back. Can't believe we didn't score in the bottom of the 6th or 7th, let's hope it can stand up. By all appearances on the net, though, a great game...very entertaining. Wish we could have put it away earlier, but we can still score some runs here. Linebrink's fastball is at 93-94 mph. The problem is it's so straight, and he rarely throws an offspeed pitch. He had pinpoint control the first half of last year, and that has totally abandoned him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Jenks has given up runs his last 3 outings. He got his last 2 saves while giving up 2 runs both times. He's going to be tested tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the bottom of the order has let us down a little in this game, but what can you expect with Fields having sat for so long? Nix usually is a good match-up with lefties, though. Atta boy Gordo, don't go down quietly. Edited July 21, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's not pretend Ozzie is a stat whore when it comes to managing. He goes with his gut probably as much, if not more, than any other manager in baseball.

It's amazing how his gut seems to say the same thing every time. Going with your gut to me suggests going against the formula. The formula says righty/righty matchups for pitchers and righty/lefty matchups when you're at the plate, and he follows that religiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
