South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) How does one dominate the 8th yet can't pitch in the 9th? I don't know. Ask Latroy Hawkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) It wasn't exactly routine. There was wind taking it towards the stands. You see the ball Suzuki dropped in foul territory? The wind was making the ball drift tonight. Still, there's no freaking excuse for missing that ball. Comparing a fly ball with a high arc to an OF to a straight up foul ball to a catcher is not a good comparison. Every OF makes that catch. That's now 2 drops. Time for Pierre to get his head out of his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Well, that supports those that think pulling him was the wrong decision. Pretty much. He has no credibility whatsoever. The Sox have never made an incorrect move in their history according to Pink Fuzzy Bunny. I said in chat that there was no reason to pull Mark at 91 f***ing pitches. 91 pitches for him is like 130 for Justin Verlander. Yahoo says it was 99. Still. I would've started him for the 9th.

flavum Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) He's playing the "Have to protect his arm" card. f***ing apologist mouthpiece. Buehrle goes out there, gets three outs on 12 pitches, and we all go home happy. Edited April 12, 2011 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, he's such an idiot. The sad thing is that the casual Sox fan listens to him. Does that mean he was mad that Jackson threw 120 pitches on Thursday?

shago Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Guillen just said that the ball that Pierre dropped wasn't easy because there is a wall near him. Yeah that's some awesome logic there. Lmao This year's Kotsay, get used to it, he ain't goin nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 So let me see if I had this right. Thornton, who's blown more save opportunities than coverting them in his career (17 saves, 23 BS in his career) is the WS closer...why?!?!? Sheesh.

joejoesox Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 FYI you kids who think Rongey is being an apologist, Ozzie said in the post-game that he wasn't going to let Mark pitch because he has to protect him this year and the decision was made this spring.

dpd9189 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Add me to the list of pissed off Sox fans tonight. Time to bench JP for a week or so, completely unacceptable. Looking like Soriano for God Sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Rongey was calling it the right move before he even heard Ozzie make his comments. He said "Pierre would have dropped the ball if Buehrle was out there". Buehrle would have thrown a pop up or a groundout!

retro1983hat Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 When we're 3 back with a week left in the season, these blown saves, will matter. Ask the Hawks how may points they left on the table earlier in the year. The problem is the confidence is not there. With every blow save, the questions become louder.

TheBigHurt Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 English m'fer, do you speak it? Yeah, I speak it. Apparently Ozzie doesn't (hardy har har). Seriously, I couldn't get a concrete idea WTF he was talking about; didn't sound sensible. What was "decided in Spring training?" That he wouldn't exceed the 8th inning? I mean...???

joejoesox Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I woulda rather had Buehrle out in the 9th too (i said it in this thread) but if Ozzie said earlier this year that they were gonna start protecting Buehrle's arm from 100+ pitch outings then whatever, that's something they think they need to do Pierre and Thornton combined are killing this teams chances to win in the 9th inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
