CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The way Alexei stands when he bunts is just terrible . All batters attempting to sac bunt need to squat and keep the bat knee high. Any high pitch you let go. ALexei stands almost straight up with bat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) Has Alexei ever in his life successfully laid down a bunt? He's solid when bunting for a hit. I'm sure he's successfully sacrificed at so e point, but when you add in the triple play he bunted into, outs are pretty close to sacrifice attempts.

All batters attempting to sac bunt need to squat and keep the bat knee high. Any high pitch you let go. ALexei stands almost straight up with bat up. More ridiculous fundamentals. WHEN THE WHEEL PLAY IS ON....1) swing away/butcher boy, 2) don't swing, 3) bunt between the pitcher and 1B if you can actually control the bat, which Alexei never can with SAC bunting. Don't allow the defense to pressure you into a mental mistake out of desperation. Don't let all the movement distract you. DUMB DUMB DUMB baseball, no matter who the coaches and players are with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a hit, on his own...no problem. I'd swear his success rate going back to 2008 in that situation must be about 10-15% at best...at least he didn't bunt into a triple play this time.

There's not a single player in our line-up that anyone would be particularly upset not to see in the starting line-up on Opening Day, 2014. If there is one, it's probably Konerko, for sentimental reasons. As long as they keep the starting pitching staff intact, they're not really blowing anything up. Now if you start talking about dealing Sale, Reed, Quintana and Santiago, all bets are off. That's almost inconceivable, no matter how bad things are right now or even if fans start coming to games disguised by paper bags over their heads or as empty seats.

You dont have any clue until you've seen a complete tear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting successfully only 15% of the time at the Major League Level for as long as Dunn has is just not acceptable. When is the breaking point for the Sox brass to pull the plug on this disaster?
