bunting aj 3 times, then ramirez who is amazing with RISP and good against LHP esp with ryan having a bit of trouble finding the zone. The fact that he forgot for one pitch that PK was down at first and didn't PR just inviting JR to GIDP

 

He was asleep at the wheel today.

When a guy is wild like Ryan was , you just can't automatically call for a bunt especially with one of our best clutch hitters up and having the lefty / righty matchup also. Got to remember that if a pitcher is wild , not only is he throwing balls but even balls in the strike zone might not be just where he wants them to be. If he grooves one that plays right into Ramirez' strength.

We knew it was going to be tough without Q. Just gotta hope the guys can step up on offense, but its just gonna be tough down the stretch.

Frankly I don't even want to hear anything about Q. He's not here. No excuses. Step up or step aside.

Jphat knows I agree with him that we're just not a WS contender without Quentin. However, I will cringe if I hear Hawk and DJ say that this could easily be the 3rd World Series title for Ozzie if not for the injuries to Maggs, Frank, and now Quentin.

Haha. You can't take the best hitter off of a team that has pretty much carried them in big situations and act like it's no big deal. The team obviously can't worry about it and they ahve to try and win as many games as they can, but we knew that the offense would struggle without Q down the stretch.

 

It sucks horribly, but s*** happens.

With or without him we're in a good position to win the division. Most of us thought we aren't WS contender even with Quentin. Pitching , defense and timely hitting goes a long way. All we needed was a double in a key situation like Overbay got. We have plenty of hitters who are capable . Doesn't even have to be a hitter who steps up. If Richard pitches a good 2nd game we split.

A plea for perspective: The Blue Jays are scorching hot and Burnett seemed (I couldn't watch) plain, flat nasty. This was one of the 60. Let's hope Richard and the offense man up tonight.

 

I think you're right about this being one of the 60. Nothing went our way this afternoon.

You don't have to plea. I love the season the Sox are having. We have a chance to make the playoffs. Can't say that 80% of the time.

There is no reason that you get only 2 hits against AJ f***ing Burnett.

 

HORRIBLE plate discipline today with the swinging at balls in the dirt.

Bunting Lexi was obviously not a smart move...and I honestly don't think Ozzie called for every one of AJ's bunts...maybe the last one. Either way...you have to excecute at this time of year. These guys need to get there heads out real quick....

One more thing, I don't like the fact that Alexei was bunting, but maybe OZ was auditioning Alexei for the 2 hole with that call. Too bad he failed miserably.

Because the guy we currently have in the 2 hole is dominating in his bunting ability?

I HATE BUNTING! It seems like I have to say this once every week with Ozzie at the helm. And please, get AJ out of the f***ing 2nd spot in the lineup, and move Dye to 4th or 5th.

it's kind of amazing but everywhere but on this board people complain about Ozzie not bunting enough, esecially when facing a good pitcher or when the offense is in a slump.

 

Before everybody throws a fit this is not a comment to any one person just a general observation on the different perspectives of people.

Our perspectives should be a little more unified today after that pitiful display of bunting we saw . Not Ozzie's fault the players didn't execute but it is his fault when they keep failing and he keeps calling for it.
