zenryan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:02 AM) Yeah, Hafner and the C spot and LaPorta sort of balance out the slow guys in our lineup, woudln't you say? Is Hafter really faster than Konerko? Bad bounce or not, Konerko doesnt score from first on the double that Hafner scored on earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) Pierre is visibly slower than he used to be. Beckham only has decent speed. Jones/Kostay? You serious? Rios and Ramirez I'll give you. But at the same time, you have to get on base. And really? You counter with Hafner and Redmond? I never said anything, but Pierre does appear to be a little slower IMO. Of course, he's still pretty quick but I think the Marlins, even the Cubs version of him beats this version down the line by a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 So Ozzie has his team to manage and the only manging has been to bunt the best hitter......what exactly did he want and what is he going to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) And bunting isn't going to help your offense. That's two outs we shouldn't have given up. 8 hits in 19 innings against the Indians pitching staff. Stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) 8 hits in 19 innings against the Indians pitching staff. Stop. Gordon Beckham is the 2nd best hitter on this ballclub. He should not be bunting. It's not that hard to grasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Well, the bunt worked perfectly for Cleveland cause they have some professional hitters who CAME THROUGH in the clutch. Put the blame where it lies: Paulie and Jones couldn't get a f***ing bloop hit to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have a bad offense and then our manager makes it worse. Ozzie isn't the whole problem, but the fact that he's supposed to be helping the team when he's clearly not is pissing me off.

zenryan Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 12:02 AM) I like how the main excuse is Beckham bunting twice. We've scored 3 runs in back to back games against the f***ing Indians. Yeah, everyone forgets that Beckham had chance with the bases loaded and 1 out to come up with something when it was a 2-0 game. Plenty of chances the entire night to score 4 runs thru 10 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandy125 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Anyone else kind of feel that the ball hasn't been bouncing the Sox way? Tons of bloop hits by the Tribe and we hit it on the screws right at their players. Just curious if anyone else was seeing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, we have 8 hits AS A TEAM in what is now 19.1 innings. Those 2 bunts aren't the reason we're losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Way to let Alexei bat there against the tough righty...Ozzie's really utilizing the versatility. One of the worst managed games in years for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the blame where it lies: Paulie and Jones couldn't get a f***ing bloop hit to win it. Konerko hit the s*** out of the ball, but right at Sizemore. Had Ozzie decided to run Pierre and had Pierre succeeded, a bunt by Beckham would have been fine. And then Konerko's line drive scores Pierre. We would all be happy right now.
