RockRaines Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:09 PM) If you're going to PR for Abreu, you have to do it at the beginning of the inning. Then, perhaps he is at 3rd, in this situation. Weird to make the change with 2 outs.. I think they were hoping to keep him in with station to station but then hoped for the single at the end. Not my favorite move either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) And now the offense has no chance without its two hottest hitters in Abreu and Viciedo. And the bullpen has zero confidence and no Petricka to go to, since he was used for only out out. As much as the Leury Garcia PHing for Sierra worked, these late innings have all backfired in an equally horrendous way. If nothing else, it's ridiculous to take away Abreu's possible final chance to extend the hit streak unless you're going to PR right away. SIGH. World Cup time. Not crossing my fingers on this game ending up in our favor. Edited July 5, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) Yes, for some reason Robin didn't pull him when he got on base to lead off, didn't pull him when he got to 2nd, but he pulled him after they walked Connor with 2 outs. I think like us they wanted to keep him in the game if they could. At that point I would have left him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 And here comes the fantastic bullpen. And we wonder why we were desperate to win in the ninth. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 To try something different, we're going to walk the leadoff guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ok, I think I get it, Robin didn't pull Abreu until he was set up to do the double switch. When Konerko came in, Konerko could take over 1b and Leury could take over for whoever Konerko pinch hit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 08:54 PM) Yep, I didn't even mind Surkamp starting that inning. It's just sad how awful the LOOGYs have been this year for the Sox. That's cause fathom loves lefty/lefty; righty/righty matchups from the sixth inning on.
