I thought Hansen was in fact throwing well---the O's fans were buzzing about his pitches, and the walk featured a couple of borderline calls.<BR/>Forget the rookie: does Farrell just ignore past patterns and stats, or what? Okajima has been losing games in that situation all season. This is a particularly important game to win...the team is struggling, it has had a string of bad-luck losses and two straight road trips loused up by illness and injuries...what the hell? You bring in a guy who has been letting first batters tag him at .500 rate? To pitch to Jay Payton's strong side (I hate hate hate Payton)? It's a terrible gamble, that's all. Two other sox fans sitting by me were saying the same thing: not Okajima HERE!<BR/><BR/>Re Aardsma: I think his walk ratio pretty much precludes him being brought into a one-run, bases loaded situation.Jack Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129607755816264057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-63619676742939127492008-05-14T19:23:00.000-07:002008-05-14T19:23:00.000-07:00Jack Marshall said...

Is that any comfort? NO.<BR/><BR/>The team is frustrated. So are the fans. I have to say I am glad that I missed the game. Three blown leads in three days is just too painful. Was there ANY bright side to this game? Hansen was ineffective, so was Okajima. I guess Lester did okay? Tek hit `a HR? Manny made a great play?<BR/><BR/>OK, I will dwell on the positive.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-67626217752974199512008-05-14T15:11:00.001-07:002008-05-14T15:11:00.001-07:00Standells.
