elrockinMT Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) It's amazing this team has the record it has. Agreed as we should be better. Aty some point after another bullpen meltdown I would think management needs to be looking at this fiasco of a pen. There have been some bad breaks with bloops and erors, but an ace relief pitcher pitchers over those htings. Here they implode. I want to believe they can get straightened out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 This bullpen is really performing awful. I wonder how many games we've lost due to our bullpen versus everyone else in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) You are utterly hilarious. greg doesn't need a replacement on this board, thank you. I'm confused. What about what I said, is wrong? Do you honestly think MT is fine, just having 'some rough luck' or something stupid like that? It is clear, he has issues, something isn't right, and when all you have to do is wait on a 95 mph fast ball down the pipe, even the A's are going to crush it.

peanut33tillman Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) They can have him he is worthless as a closer and NEVER should be in that situation anymore. He is an 8th inning setup guy period! Anyone who defends a guy 0-4 in saves must love losing. 100% agree, doesnt have the sack to close. Dont mind him in the 8th though.

fathom Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 09:19 PM) Crain failed too. So did Thornton. So keep making excuses for members of the bullpen, because it wouldn't have mattered WHO Ozzie used. Crain got one guy out, and gave up one walk. That's better than we can hope for from anyone besides Santos. Edited April 13, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Anyone know how many games we have lead after 8 innings? I would venture to guess that our record would be about 9-3 or 10-2 had games ended after 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) They can have him he is worthless as a closer and NEVER should be in that situation anymore. He is an 8th inning setup guy period! Anyone who defends a guy 0-4 in saves must love losing. What makes you think he would be pitching any better in the 8th inning? He isn't locating his fastball and his slider sucks right now which means he is going to give up runs. That wouldn't change in the 8th and obviously didn't change in the 10th inning of a tie game, a scenario Matt has pitched in plenty throughout his career.

Yes, because you know for a fact that had someone else been put in in the first place, things would have happened the same way, right? You go with what is most logical at the TIME, second guessing what would have been the right move at the time is foolish. Your logic is ridiculous.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Reinsdorf and KW have to be PISSED PISSED PISSED that his team that should be 10-2 or 11-1 and gathering momentum and excitement for this coming weekend homestand against the Angels now has everyone wanting to give away their tickets or auctioning them off like credit default swaps in late 2008.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Well, this is refreshing. Greg Walker's job hasn't been mentioned more than a couple of times....other than Konerko saying he's one of the two smartest hitting coaches working in baseball today. Yet no "fire Don Cooper" threads have appeared yet. Maybe tomorrow, during the off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
