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.

That bunt was an inch away from being a hit. 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.

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.

The point is, DeAza came into that at-bat as our best hitter with RISP.

 

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.

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.
