max power Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 04:56 PM) Thats a toss up to me. I can see arguments for and against a bunt there. AJ just did a terrible job. I'm inclined to agree. And had AJ gotten it down, this might have been a tie game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he expects a hitter who he's had for 3 years already to bunt when he should know his tendencies by now including strengths and weaknesses. Can anyone honestly say with a straight face, they would have any confidence in AJ laying down a bunt? If I was Getz, I would've stole no matter what.

AJ just did a terrible job. You only have 3 outs remaining, you are down one, the runner is only on 1st, A.J. is a .300 hitter who never bunts, Q and Crede are behind him, and a righty is pitching. I see no possible way to excuse the bunt. We deserve the loss we're about to get. Oh well. Edited August 25, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 2-0 and he f***ing swings. God dammit. Make him pitch to you if you walk the tieing run is at 3rd with less than 2 outs. ARGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have confidence in anyone but Getz to get a bunt down. Ozzie and his staff complain about not doing the fundamentals good enough. Well it seems like when players are on this team long enough, it's not enforced strong enough to know how to do it. That's why you should let the player swing. Especially a guy like AJ.
