ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Beckham off to a lousy start in becoming the Sox's third consecutive POTW. No, but Buehrle is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Considering it seems that Buehrle was on a short leash in the 8th, he must have told Ozzie after the 7th he was getting tired. That is the only way Mark comes out with only 99 pitches and two hit shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnCangelosi Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Ugh, hung the offspeed pitch. Just a terrible pitch and a dumb decision to put Thornton in here. If Ozzie doesnt get it after this blown save I am going to lose it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Here we go. 0-2 and Thornton gives up the lead off double. Now watch the sac bunt or a steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) What's with this 90 mph cutter crap? The result of trying to mix it up. The problem with trying off-speed pitches with Thornton is that they're not all that good. His fastball is better than anything he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 That 0-2 pitch is a killer. Thornton already showed the slider, so no need to throw another off-speed that at bat. If you are going to throw one, you need it to be unhittable. The pitch call should have been a fastball higher than high. He still may get out of it yet, but some one has to go over that at bat and either tear Thornton or AJ a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie couldn't resist - his imprint has to be on every game. I can think of only two successful one-pitch closers - one's in the HOF (Hoyt Wilhelm) and the other is one his way (Mariano Rivera) Edited April 12, 2011 by mcgrad70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
