How many HR's has he predicted today ? Every batter that's come up, and that when he gets one right, Singleton gives him a hand-job ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree strongly for about 100 reasons but...Uribe hits lefties well and it one of our better hitters, Uribe cannot f***ing bunt, Ohman cannot get righties out, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume you mean shame on Uribe, if so, agree. Get the freaking job done. They aren't and that's the reason for the frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Basically by bunting with Uribe you just give Pinella exactly what he wants. You let him get away with Ohman facing a righty and 2 lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has hit .230 with a lot of power comparable for his size. That is mini Rob Deer. Rob Deer couldnt bunt either. I would rather him take his huge cuts in that situation instead of popping up the bunt like he usually does. He cant hit consistantly. But the one thing he can do is drive it.

I would've had him hacking, personally. He rarely seems to drop a decent bunt, and like others have said, with the wind blowing out I take the chance that he'll make contact.

Even if he got that bunt down, it was a stupid decision. I'm not going to agree on this one. As a team, we suck at hitting right now. I'd rather attempt to get a guy in scoring position to give us 2 chances to drive him in. Either way, this looks like it's going to be a 1 run game today so we need our bullpen to step up today, and protect a lead, but I just don't have much confidence in Uribe's bat right now. I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but Guillend did agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I'm thinking the same thing. I have very little confidence that the Sox will score here. It's basically on Jermaine's shoulders with Konerko batting after him, too.

The Cubs have some power from both sides of the bench today, so our relievers are going to have to get out someone who hits from a different side than they throw.
