Jake Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Can't believe AJ swung at that pitch Looks like the guy has a pretty tough slider. I'm ready to see whichever reliever is next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Too bad Acta didn't leave Sipp in for two innings, probably could have scored some runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Can't believe AJ swung at that pitch He's been trying to hit the ball with a little more authority this season. I think he was looking to take the lead there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Now who do you go to in the bullpen? You're going to burn through Reed when we needed him an inning earlier to keep the game tied? How/why is Thornton in the game now? This is ridiculously bad managing tonight. First, he manages "not to lose," like the prevent defense using Ohman. Now we're going to burn our best reliever down by 1? Makes no sense at all. Edited May 3, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I hate running with 2 strikes. Too many hitters either get distracted or try to protect it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are either going to tie it in the bottom of the 9th or win or lose. There isn't a save situation to be had for the home team tonight. Might as well use your closer to keep it as close as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Ozzie Guillen would have mismanaged the pen this badly tonight. He was smart about ONE thing. You just don't want Matt Thornton facing Travis Hafner EVER. He got away with Ohman against Hafner the first time. Zach Stewart or Nathan Jones time, lol. Edited May 3, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
