Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 2, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) No reason Ohman shouldn't pitch effectively tonight against a left-handed heavy line-up. Perfect game for him to see some meaningful innings. If the Sox were playing Simeon, I'd be nervous if Ohman came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would almost rather see Ohman than Thornton against Hafner. Would rather see Ohman than anyone besides Thornton and Reed tonight against this particular line-up. Thornton-Santiago or Reed-Thornton to finish this thing? Edited May 3, 2012 by jeffro2525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) Apparently we now put defense on the board. Harrelson got a little excited, eh? He's working himself into a lather, ala Tom Kelly? Shouldn't there be a rule for those sayings that a runner should theoretically be scoring if Alexei DOESN'T make the play to merit such a call? Oh, well, nice to see Harrelson excited and energized again, compared to last year's Bataan Death March (if anyone has a family member who served in the Philippines, that's just my "wrestler persona" and I'm not actually poking fun of the very real atrocities which happened at the hands of the Japanese in WW II.)

Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 2, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) Would rather see Ohman more than anyone besides Thornton and Reed tonight against this particular line-up. Thornton-Santiago or Reed-Thornton to finish this thing? Santiago is another guy that can't be trusted with anything less than a 3 run lead. His entire existence on a major league roster is entirely placed on spring training games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a hit earlier tonight, but he has looked real bad too many times this year. Making outs is one thing, not having a chance is another. This one though is a sidewinder, and they can make batters look real silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I mean seriously how bad do you have to be to take 2 pitches up the middle when your up 3-0. Then swing at a pitch out of the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a mechanics thing, it's more of an overmatched thing so far this year. He will be in AAA by June if he doesn't get things going.

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You don't really want to get beat using your 6th best reliever in a tie game at home, do you? Well, I understand the logic with the switch hitters and lefties, but playing with fire here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk has been using a Wimpy line lately when the opponent hits a flyball he'll sometimes say we have a man there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a tie game leading off the 7th with a new reliever I may give the 3-0 and 3-1 take to Morel and Beckham. Everyone else can swing away on 3-1.
