fathom Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 09:45 PM) Memo to Mr. Ventura: Ohman is a LOOGY. Thank you. Sincerely, Concerned White Sox Fan Two biggest areas of criticism so far of Ventura are his handling of Ohman and Morel in the 2nd spot. Besides that, he's done a fantastic job.

Noonskadoodle Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I feel like Ozzie would have kept him in there.....Nice to see Robin pull him & give us a chance at getting out of the inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 04:38 PM) Yeah, no more Morel is the two hole please. Bat Lillibridge in #2 rotate him between 3rd and 2nd. Beckham/Morel can bat 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Now we have to use Reed. I don't think Thornton is available today. We are in trouble if this game goes to extra innings. GOing to have to put up a lot of runs in the bottom of 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter who the manager is he will make some moves the general fanbase wont agree with and call headscratchers.....I don't even think Ohman belongs on the major league roster.

fathom Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 So I thought Reed threw harder than he's shown this year. Anyone know his average fastball velocity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 9 good players would usually make the manager look good. Harder to do when you have a few coin flip guys in the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, that's what happens when you get behind in the count 0-2. Credit to Ventura for not giving up this game and trying to use Ohman and Reed instead of leaving Stewart in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, that's an 0/12 series for Miguel Cabrera against Sox pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Reached back for a little something extra there, 95 and on the black. Impossible pitch to hit, we've really controlled Cabrera this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Leaving in Ohman assures that he gave up on the game Well, clearly Ventura trusts the veteran Ohman over what he saw out of Stewart this spring. It will take some time for Zach to re-earn Robin's confidence. It's one thing to face the bottom of the order, it's quite another to go through the heart of the line-up unscathed.

If Will Ohman against RH is > Zach Stewart against RH in Ventura's mind, then Stewart shouldn't be on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
