AJUribe Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Anderson, Melky, and Eaton are the only players that can hit. Abrue brings no energy, frazier hits homers off garbage pitchers but can't put a ball in play off any pitcher of decent quality. Can't win with 2 black holes at 3-4.

He couldn't lay down a bunt in the 9th inning though in a situation that would have led to a tied game. Either he is incompetent or Robin was just an idiot. Regardless, something gotta change.

You don't see Stanton, Encarnacion, Ortiz, Harper, etc. bunting. I'm total anti-bunt so I don't really care, but it is a little annoying that professional baseball players can't perform one of the most basic tasks in the game.

AJUribe Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'm not even talking bunting here or a 2/4 night. Can anyone honestly say they have any confidence in either frazier or abreu 2 outs bottom 9 bases loaded down 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he is incompetent or Robin was just an idiot. Regardless, something gotta change. You would be more accurate if you said he didn't hit the ball to the right side which he is pretty good at. His success early in the game pulling Shoemaker's pitches made him try to pull it which was probably bad thinking . Sometimes Abreu is his own worst enemy . He wants to drive in runs and swings at pitchers pitches too often with guys on base. Some times you have to trust your team mates behind you and take a walk when the pitcher gives you nothing good to hit. I'm also being very kind since no one but you thinks an Abreu bunt should 've been tried there.I'm not sure in all his time with the Sox if he has ever bunted or jokingly squared around to bunt.

I don't know what purpose being a troll is when it's so blatantly ridiculous unless someone just likes seeing people respond to him or gets a twisted laugh out of it. I mean by definition if I make an argument I really don't believe in or do it to play devils advocate , I am a troll even if my argument makes sense isn't that correct ?

hi8is Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Let's put it this way... When the pinch ran Saladino for Melky in the 9th - I was pissed. Why? Because I wanted a contact hitter like Saladino up there for Frazier in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
