caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Beckham gets the job done, if not quite in the conventional way. No suicide or safety squeeze, lol. Does Robin really expect him to execute on the bunt? Maybe? DeAza 1/9 against Holland, struggling today.

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Had a great chance to get the ball in the air there....but swung at a ball that was out of the zone. Should be bases loaded now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 There you go, Alejandro. Got the ball far enough to the outfield on a line, didn't give Francouer enough time to set up and get behind the throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I hope those fans in the expensive seats behind the plate are going to hit the buffet one more time and not leaving. Sports fans who leave games are idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 If the Royals do't pull this out, they are chumps. To lose 2 in a row to the Sox while trying to contend is ridiculous. Hope Addison has it again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hopefully Addison can work past the demons of an earlier blown save against the Royals this year. Not one of the best memories of the year. That was a 2 run lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we're the heavy favorites we can't beat them. It's called choking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 What happened with DeAza and Rios in RCF today? Jesus, Alejandro's really pushing the patience of this organization. And yet, he's been a pretty solid RBI guy for them from the leadoff spot (well, the tallest midget) and at least made contact to get the SAC fly. Ventura did a decent job managing today...there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Good thing Robin didn't call for the bunt in the ninth (sac first; squeeze later) or we know the Sox wouldn't have pushed across the one run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox were leading the division for most of the season and between 10-15 games over .500 when they were losing some of those Royals games. Easier to call those losses "chokes" than a so-so Royals team losing, although it does hurt to lose those games on your home field with good crowd support behind you. Has to be frustrating to lose sight of .500 again after getting fairly close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura did a decent job managing today...there's that. It looked like two guys who hate each other, who play for themselves refused to communicate and let it drop. The Royals announcer said he wouldn't put it all on DeAza because it looked like Rios didn't say a word calling for the ball. Obviously DeAza was a spastic in racing over there to begin with, and he has to take command as CF, but I get the feeling Rios isn't Mr. Communications either.

I have no idea how that play makes you think that Rios and De Aza "hate each other." That's a ridiculous conclusion to come to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
