Balta1701 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Why you bring him out after 35 minutes sitting on the bench I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Especially with as long as this top of the 8th has lasted, it's time for the bullpen to take over. Yeah, I think the long inning should have been the deciding factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) What did that prove, Ozzie? With a four-run lead, our bullpen, and EdWIN's pitch count, to my way of thinking, you absolutely give him at least one batter to continue along. He walked Cabrera, and Ozzie came and got him right away. I have no problem with rewarding Jackson with the start of the inning under those circumstances.

I agree, but that half inning was just too long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was boneheaded. It was just a horrible throw. He would have been gone with a decent throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat was a 35 minute+ half inning after the guy had thrown 90 pitches. I see and appreciate what you guys are saying, but I still think Ozzie played it right. He gave Jackson one at-bat, which he blew with the walk, and then he yanked him. Who's to say anyone from the bullpen would have done any better with just that one batter? We just saw what Putz had on hand tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 ugghh....s*** always starts with a stupid move and Ejax coming out was a stupid move. YOu want to reward him....pat him on the ass for 7 shutout innings and 0 walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
