Andrew Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I hate how he is being handled in a really difficult situation. I want players to succeed. Go coach little league, then. I root for the laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 That's also the first loss for Burnett in the last 2 Aprils. Only the 2nd win for us in the last 12 games. Just all around a great game to watch thanks to Phil. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L job. And thank you, Ozzie, for keeping Thornton the f*** away from this game.

Soxbadger Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Seriously some of you are flat out ridiculous. Go look up the stats on closer success rates when entering in the 8th and then ask who really was talking about winning or losing a game. Just because Santos came through, doesnt mean its the right decision. As for wanting players to succeed, thats how you win. If every player succeeds you win games. If players fail, your team fails. Serious insanity by some posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious insanity by some posters. Insanity was 5 situations repeated over and over yet the same results. Tonight - not that. Different results. It's actually the definition. Next, we'll hopefully do something about the hitting situation where you know - there's more "insanity". Edited April 26, 2011 by Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 You have no idea what youre talking about. It had nothing to do with Thornton, it had to do with the fact Santos (to the best of my knowledge) has never closed a game at any level. So for his first chance at closing ever Ozzie decided to throw him in the 8th and 9th. That is a recipe for disaster. Perhaps you should go back and see that after the KC loss where Thornton gave up the 3 run hr (I believe his second blown save) I posted in the game thread that the Sox seriously needed to consider switching Thornton from the role. So once again, I have no clue what you are talking about. I am merely suggesting (which is factually correct) that having to pitch the 8th and 9th is significantly harder. Thus if Santos was my closer, he does not pitch the 9th. I stay with Sale v Jones, if Santos is my closer. Your argument is insane, absolutely mind blowingly dumb.

That's just not right. Also - go back and look at the GT. I questioned the whole move to pull Sale too. Edited April 26, 2011 by Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
