It's honestly astonishing that his default setting, in almost any situation when runners get on, is to bunt. You have a decent lineup dude, let them swing. They Sox have to be leading the league in bunts attempted by a wide margin. Is there anywhere that shows that info?

fathom Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 FWIW, Suzuki has thrown out two more runners stealing than Karkovice has this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Bad series, I fully expect them to win the first two in KC to suck me back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now, I would say he is the #2 starter. His ERA is 4.58 after today's start. The 3 Clowns that make up the rest of the rotation have ERA's of 6.24, 6.62, and 7.36.

I don’t care for a second if they win or lose a game like this. It’s just the continued bunting as a sign of the antiquated bullshit we keep seeing from Ricky and Cooper that is beyond tiresome.

mqr Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 On the bright side Mike Matheny won multiple divisions and an NL pennant and Ned Yost is a world series champion so it's not like it's impossible to win with a bumbling idiot in the dugout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following up on this, Ricky is 5th in Rate+, which I assume, is an adjustment of his Sac Bunt percentage, which is 2.1%. In raw percentage he trails only.......Terry Francona?? He has 11 attempts to Tito's 13. Alex Cora is up there too, which is surprising as well. I Imagine this doesn't count bunts that fail to be put down.

gusguyman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We have KC next so who knows.... But this reminds me of that May 2016 series against the Rangers. Had two horrible losses, and the team just nose-dived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I haven't been critical of Renteria to date, but that bunt was beyond stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I don't blame Ricky so much for bunting... Even tho in that situstion it was dumb. I blame Ricky cause his players can't execute. I swear we got a ton of dumb ballplayers. Leury is like top notch dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What a strange quote from renteria. He threw Tim under the bus and used "I..." Instead of we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It’s called advanced scouting. They should have known Rendon would charge and 1B stays back. Also Doolittle is tough to bunt on cause of all the high fastballs. He’s just so stubborn on such a dumb strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
