caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Impressed that Leury went into a bit of a slump there and is fighting to get out of it....thought he was headed for his predicted low 700's OPS sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Maybe it's because I watch a lot of the Sox but I feel like no organization has been as bad historically at bunting. Is there a website out there that might tell me if this is right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leury Garcia ends this year with a .700 OPS would that actually be a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Why are you bunting with freakin' PELFREY on the mound? It's not like this is Game 7 of the ALCS, and you're playing for one run with Sale on the mound and the 2005 White Sox bullpen lined up behind him. That made no sense...zero, unless he simply did it on his own. Edited June 1, 2017 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 31, 2017 -> 09:40 PM) Yolmer is playing with a lot of swag. Even on the routine plays he's really firing the ball over to Jose with some flair. If Frazier doesn't stay, I wouldn't mind seeing Sanchez play 3rd when Moncada comes up. Or have Moncada learn more than one position and have him play 3rd. I actually love the way Sanchez plays. What are the chances Moncada comes up before July?

Nope, depending on the number of at-bats he receives, that's a 1.5-2 WAR contribution, similar to Saladino last year...maybe a notch below that. His pinch running ability is an asset, as well as his positional flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Bennetti such an annoying A** jinx.. but I can turn on the radio so nps there. What a couple horrible at bats by Cabrera and Abreu.... Pomerantz must have some magic jedi trick to make them swing at 10ft high fastballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ya know, I am thoroughly enjoying a shutout of one of the best hitting teams in baseball after they scored 13 runs the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 By Pelfrey, to boot. That's the way it usually goes. If he was facing the Astros or Yankees tonight, they'd put up 7 or 8 on him. But, in the law of baseball where idiotic managing leads to a runner not scoring from second and no outs, the NEXT half inning invariably leads to a run/s scoring for the opposition. It's like the leadoff walks are more likely to score than singles adage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) At least we can't micromanage and bring in Jennings or Holmberg here. Swarzak up to 1.88. KC getting nervous that Sandoval will start to hit and they will lose a potential trading partner for Moustakas, likewise with the White Sox and Todd Frazier.
