SoxFan1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) That's the type of inning that should get Ozzie fired immediately. Oh God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) How does a 3rd base umpire make a call while looking at home plate? That's actually a very difficult decision when you consider if there's a check swing, he has to be the one making the call. Just a fluke play. Of course Hawk hasn't realized yet how awkward of a situation it is. Edited May 31, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Now, there's an ump getting caught up in the play/crowd. Terrible call at 3rd base. Just terrible. Guillen and his NL bulls*** goes from 2 men on 0 outs and a 2-0 count to a failed bunt and a strike them out throw them out double play. So guillens bulls*** about his comments being taken out of context, he must of forgot that the big camera doesn't have context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does anyone have this stat? baseball-reference? Teams that have scored the least amount of runs per opportunity with runners at 1st and 2nd and no outs, and runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs? And bases loaded with less than 2 outs? I would be shocked if we weren't worst in the AL in at least 2 of those 3 categories. Theoretically, the Mariners or Twins might be worse, but I doubt it. They don't get enough baserunners on.

fathom Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) I've wanted Ozzie gone since last summer. Thing is, Fenway is a terrible park for Juan to hit with the LF being able to play so shallow. Trying to bunt the runner to third to get Juan up for one out is a very unlikely sac fly situation.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 OH that just pisses me off 1st Ozzie does his NL bulls*** ,righty who's figuring it out against a struggling lefty and calls for a bunt. like its the bottom of the ninth and all we need is one run. Then 2 terrible calls by the umps on the same play. Yea I know it's hindsight since Morel couldn't get the bunt down but knowing Pierre is up next its assinine. Play to break the game open . If Peavy holds the Red Sox to 0 runs the rest of the way I'll admit I was wrong but now I'm just fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Guillen really needs to stop managing as he is putting players in position to fail rather than succeed. He needs to sit back and let them paly. As meh as Peavy has looked, Lester has looked worse, yet their offense will get him a W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Guess the bright side is Lester has thrown almost 100 pitches. Probably won't see him past the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
