caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Might as well have had Flowers bunt there, lol. What the heck is DeAza doing? NO MORE BUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's the only one hitting decently (3/7) with RISP, along with Paulie. The team is at .145 as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with that one. That was a rough AB for De Aza, nearly perfect bunt, raked a ball foul, then fooled completely on that last pitch.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) Here's a question...if Flowers totally flops this year, how do the Sox acquire a catcher for next season? It would seem trading for someone would have to be the way to go. Trading Ramirez, Thornton, Crain, Floyd...although not sure any of those options get it done. Maybe add in a bullpen arm and one of our surplus minor league outfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Went back and looked at the pitch selection in the 1st inning...why are you throwing a 3-2 change-up with 2 outs and no one one to their worst hitter in Raburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you bunt and pass the buck to the next hitter, it doesn't send a good message to the rest of the line-up...even if it does happen to work, it puts pressure on Keppinger when he's been struggling out of the gate.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I just caught the last second of the call...but either Rios or Dunn is 0/7 with RISP. I guess 0/8 now with the error? Edited April 13, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a sacrifice attempt, that was a bunt for a hit. If Ramirez had tried to bunt for a hit last night, I coulda lived with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Sale 87 mph, then 89 mph. Funky motion or not he needs to be 92-94 to get enough differential in his slider and change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I guess our new pitching strategy is to see if we can get all of the starters at 100 pitches by the 5th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
