pettie4sox Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) Never been a fan of waiting until the end of the AB to bring in a reliever. If the first two pitches were nowhere close and it's 2-0, don't wait for him to walk the guy and just call the 'pen. Wait can you even do that?

Jose Abreu Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:07 PM) Why should the next pitcher be responsible for that walk? The next pitcher might not walk him; I'd rather have a fresh arm in who can actually throw a strike rather than a tired starter who will almost definitely walk him.

You have no idea if either the starter or replacement will walk or strike him out, but it isn't fair to the next pitcher to only allow him one pitch outside of the zone There is a reason managers don't do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Not to be overly negative but how slow has DeAza become? He would have been out had Porcello not made that horrendous throw. Watch the replay. He might have been able to set and fire and still get DeAza there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) I wish he was a 1 WAR player. His first 3 years with the Sox, he was 0.2, 0.1 and 0.3. He was -0.1 last year and is at -0.1 this year. Yes, yes he is. With all due respect, you're not qualified to call a player a good or bad defender. Have you ever even seen him play?

If that was true then why don't other managers do it? Tell me, when is the last time you saw a manager pull a pitcher after throwing a second ball?
