fathom Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Balta, is it possible to find out what Cabrera has hit against the Sox in the 7th inning and later in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Wow, what a dumbass decision. I'd rather have Jake f***ing Peavy pitch to Cabrera than any bullpen guy. No harm, no foul. Sox were up by two; still up by one with four outs to go. A good bullpen would wrap this baby up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 would've liked to have seen him throw another changeup with the count in his favor like that. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) It was time to shower several minutes earlier. Hopefully it won't coast the Sox a win and hopefully Robin learned something there. I've always hated when a manager asks his pitcher if he wants to stay in or come out.

That was supposed to come after the up and out of the zone fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It must be great to be Matt Abatacola (sp). For Hawk to use that in his play by play is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the call, but the default coaching move there is obviously not the starter with 120 pitches and a recently repaired right arm.

Dick Allen Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) I can't believe you guys preferred a reliever to Peavy there. He was out of gas facing one of the best hitters of the past 20 years who has seen his pitches 3 times previously tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sale closing? Kidding. Let Thornton finish. Santiago has seen his last ninth inning for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) CLE getting on a bit of a mini-roll here in the early season. Took down the Rangers at home and in first by 2 games now. Weird, bringing in Valverde down by 1? He hasn't even pitched well in tie games this season. Edited May 5, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 if we have learned one thing about Robin Ventura in the first month, it's this: He ain't obsessed with pitch counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's all said and done, maybe one of the top 3-5 hitters of all-time. He's Manny Ramirez without the steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Clearly we don't care about his health if we're letting him throw so many pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Valverde sucks, but this means they feel pretty confident about the back end of our bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause honestly, it seems like 90% of the time, the pitcher is going to say he wants to stay in. I've always felt one of the reasons a manager might do that is to scapegoat the pitcher if it goes bad.

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) BTW, is there any team in the majors with a worse bench than ours? Other than Lillibridge's versatility and pinch-running, not much there. Beckham will get another AB here unless Morel hits into a DP. Yay, we now have one bench hitter over .200 finally.
