Ozzie either (1) didn't think Washington would bring in Oliver to face Dunn or (2) figured Dunn, at 0 for 31, was due.

 

Either way, he's pretty stupid.

 

amazingly i think that (1) is even more stupid than (2)

But for some reason it's still defended by many for some inexplicable reason.

 

I'm no longer surprised or angered by the defense of terrible managing. It's just as inexplicable as the terrible managing itself.

How can you not counter-move with the lefty in to face Dunn? How??? Does not compute..

 

 

Because it's one of your top stars, who happens to be mired in a horrendous slump

That was the worst piece of managing since the hit-and-run with Dunn at home a couple of games back.

 

Dunn is not a situational small ball hitter yet the Ozeroo thinks he is.

 

Managers are suppossd to put their players in the best poistion to succeed Guillne seems to get hem into the best position to fail

 

McPherson than Vizquel is the right situation there as now McPherson is in the game anyway and Vizquel is the only bat on the bench.

 

Tony Pena...seriously

 

Guillen really does not care about this game.

0 (ZERO, NONE) for 31 against lefties isn't a slump, its a downright failure. And reasoning to not even let him attempt an AB.

Dallas McPherson is a strikeout machine as well.

Rios got a terrible break on the fly ball and it went over his head for a ground rule double. Anderson would have had it.

 

Darn, hell of a start by Gavin then. I really dislike 2/3 of our outfield this season. Just don't bring anything to the table.

In a situation that would have wasted Dunn anyways, bringing in Vizquel in that situation is a no-brainer.

I don't think Ozzie was looking for Dunn to play small ball, I think he wanted Dunn to blast a ball somewhere deep to get the sac fly. Dunn, however, has no idea how to get a hit off of a LHP, so the obvious result was bad.

kind of funny that oz is changing pitchers when he blew his chance to manage in the top of this inning.

 

He's trying to make up for it. Fortunately for him, it sort of worked.

The problem was...he gave up an out by bunting AJ over to 2b, so yeah, he was looking to play small ball.

To be fair...getting the out from Sale then not giving him the chance to do something wrong isn't exactly a bad move.
