BigHurt3515 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Chalk this up to management again, Webb is fresh and Jake is tired. Jake pitched. I don't. Can't win when you don't score. It was a toss up on rather to walk Cabrera or not.. Don't think RV did anything wrong tonight unless he is the one that gave the game plan to the hitters.

Like you said, this is on the offense tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we had the wrong reliever in, today was a Webb day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:30 PM) .134 average RHB vs. Petricka coming into today's game and Victor Martinez on deck. I love VM but he is not in MC league. If Sox do not score a run it is moot anyway. Edited June 13, 2014 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we had the wrong reliever in, today was a Webb day. When has he pitched Webb in a 1 run ball game with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the best hitter in the world up? Come on, Webb has not been in big spots like that and there was no reason to go to him with Petricka having a good BAA against righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Bosley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) Hawk and Stone in full defense mod for RV pitching to Miggy, they know fans are not happy with him. Well, I will say this. I love the Hawk, I think he's a very smart and sound baseball man based on his many years in this game. But in this instance, he cannot have it both ways, IMO. He can't continue saying Cabrera is one of the best hitters of all time, and then turn around and justify not putting him on first base in that situation. I don't care who's hitting behind him.

Well put and you are correct sir. Hawk has praised MC more than any other player against Sox not to let him beat you no matter what.

He gives him a chance now because Webb has done a great job for us this year and he deserves a shot in a big situation because of his performance (aside from walks, but Petricka has plenty of those as well) Edited June 13, 2014 by Jose Abreu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
