Damn it Alexei, learn how to take a f***ing walk.

Seriously. Him and AJ are just morons at the plate. I don't understand how a major league baseball player can walk 20 and 13, times respectively. Frank did that in one month every year, sometimes every two weeks. Now the pinch runner comes in. If he had been there in the first place, then Okajima has one more thing to worry about even if De Aza wasn't going to steal. Just the threat puts another element on the pitcher's mind.

Matt Thonrton's left handed too.

 

Thornton's bad at holding runners on. Very bad.

There was 2 outs...who cares! But thanks, you basically admitted that Francona schooled Ozzie.

 

Who cares? You'd rather have the tying run in scoring position with two out as opposed to on first?

With 2 outs, you just go after the hitter. Justifying keeping Buehrle in there over Thornton, or a RHP (like it should have been) is insane in my opinion.

You don't care because Buerhle was at 117 pitches and he was getting hit hard (as evidenced by the play before that). Had Vizquel not saved that ball from going into left field, it would be a 5-3 game right now.

 

You don't give a s*** who can hold who on when the pitcher on the mound is out of gas.
