maggsmaggs Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 So typical. Can't pitch over errors and when we leave bases loaded or something bad like that, we get scored upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) I hate you OC....this inning won't go well. No, according to Hawk, there's "nothing you can do" about that play. I mean, how could there be? It was hit right at him and bounced up off the ground. I am so tired of Harrelson I can't tell you.

Frankensteiner Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 From possibly blowing the game open to having the tieing runs on base in the span of 4 ABs. Thanks White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) I hate the Twins. With the exception of the Mariners series it seems like they sweep all inferior teams and then get swept by all superior teams. They have all of 2 hits in five innings against Baker today, 2-0 Twins heading into the 6th. Of course, they will have approximately 51 hits against us this week, predictably. Looks like ALL the momentum is now officially back to the Red Sox after we had them on the ropes. Too bad we didn't have Craig Monroe or Marcus Thames to pinch-hit for us against Aardsma.

Jake Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) AJP shouldn't be hitting in the 2nd spot of the order then. You can't play for one run like this against Boston when you have a terrible bullpen. We were playing for 2 runs. 2 hitters bunt, especially with 2 on and none out. That is the epitome of a bunt situation. Moving two men instead of one into scoring position for your 3, 4, and 5 hitters is absolutely the textbook thing to do.

If you're thinking you shouldn't bunt, then you're assuming that hits are following. So, why not have runners at 2d and 3d when they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) Yankees They never play well against the Yankees and I don't see that changing. So if we can be tied with them going into the next series, I could see us picking up a game or two. Alexei for defensive MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wish someone would clue our hitters that we were playing for 2 runs. Because from the swings I saw they were hitting for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree...but some will go to great lengths in not finding certain players culpable even if it means making up crap about Guillen. The bunt was the RIGHT CALL...at the very least we get 1 run, but Dye and Thome blew it...it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
