We've had one extra basehit all day and we have 6 hits on the day, 2 of them belonging to the guy we pinch ran for.

 

So...we had some benefit in having Paul Konerko on first base? It seems like the theory here is we never were going to score a run there and we were just going to wait until Rios-PK came to bat again. You can't manage like that.

Neither the manager or bench coach seem to have great in game managing skill.

 

I mentioned this in the Viciedo thread, but it's crazy how poorly this bench is constructed with both Danks and Tekotte on the roster now. The Sox should be able to avoid LHP/lefty hitter, RHP/righty hitter match-ups late in a game, but they can't.

If you have a guy on second with one out and Konerko is on second, then I understand. Pinch run for him. But the probability of us scoring that inning with a man on first and one out is not very high. On average, the run expectancy in that case is about .6 runs. With how we have been hiting, it's much lower.

 

And watch Escobar kill us here.

Yeah, I hope we're seeking somebody outside of the org. How did this team become lefty heavy?
