fathom Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) You musta missed a many Sox vs. Twins games where the Twins used that strategy. The Twins bunted down 3 in the 6th inning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) I was thinking that it seems almost impossible to imagine any situation in which the Sox bring back Manny. If he performs well, he'll want a hell of a lot more money than we'd want to give him. If he performs poorly, it will likely cause a lot of negative feelings in the organization and they wouldn't be interested in bringing him back. The big question is going to be...how much money is Manroid willing to play for next year? There's not going to be a whole lot of teams out looking for a 39 year old DH next offseason. If Manroid is willing to play for a couple million dollars, then the Sox are probably as likely of a destination as anywhere (maybe the Rays might have interest, but otherwise?). I still am not convinced that Manroid will be motivated to play for a 90% pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (Real @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:54 PM) My thoughts on why bunting guys to 2B or 3B in this offense doesn't work: We have a team of tightass mental midgets. When you force a guy like Rios or Konerko or Alexei or just name somebody, they get tightass when the pressure is on them to HAVE to get the run in, because the bunt implies that Ozzie wants the next two guys to come through with a hit. Let the hitters swing the bat with a runner on first or second with no outs and they play loose because there's no f***ing pressure on a single player to get the run in It sucks that we have a lineup of chokers but it is what it is. Here's another thing: the Sox are actually ahead of the league average on getting guys home from 3rd with less than 2 out. The league average is an astoundingly low 53%, which tells you that (1) a lot of teams struggle to bring home those runners; and (2) all things being equal, you have a slightly better than 50% chance to bring home the run that will still leave you 2 runs short, with few outs remaining. Not so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
