greg775 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 04:22 AM) I respect the hell out of PK, I think we all do. But damn dude, just run to first base, especially when it's on the last play of the damn game. We know you're slow and that you will probably never beat anything on the infield out, but there is a 0% chance you beat anything out if you never even try to run. Yawn. It was a made to order double play. He had no chance. Hester would have had no chance or Usain Bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not the only person who's noticed this on the board. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 03:58 AM) Well, to be accurate, that is his OBP over that span, but yes, he hit .379 over that period But over the past two weeks he's been making some weak efforts and has visibly been pouting immediately after seeing the result. A few times he hardly bothered to run. We get it, PK is infallible and above all criticism. My god. I can't believe this thread. Paulie is above criticism right now. He hit in to a DP. Shoot him. The game was over when the ss saved that run. Unfortunately that was it cause Paulie didn't elevate a fly ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a runner on 3B with one out. You should score that run at least 50-60% of the time...maybe the percentage against a closer in the 9th is 40-50%, but the game wasn't over.

Cali Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Meh, can't really be mad at a loss like this. Lost a pitchers duel. Peavys ERA went down In a loss. Unlike past situations this is an actual tip your cap kind of game. Win the series tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that was the game saver. Didn't you just feel deep down Paulie was gonna do exactly what he did? I did. Sucks but Paulie is Paulie. Seems hypocritical to criticize him for anything this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching the game with my son, and I told him that the shortstop just saved the game. I was hoping Konerko could hit a fly ball, but I did feel deep down that a ground ball was coming.
