Jose Abreu Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Don't wanna become a schtick guy, but Saladino is the best bunter on the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Terrible...the lost art of sacrifice bunting, hard to do against a fastball pitcher. And Rollins was 5 for 9 against LHP this year. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Saladino should be the starting shortstop beginning tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're a pitcher at the plate, you should pretty much never bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The current starting shortstop seems to have inherited his predecessor's prowess, or lack thereof, as it pertains to sacrifice bunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 White Sox could not have tried any harder to help the Rangers escape this inning. Evan Grant Tigers lose in the bottom of the 9th at Washington, now 3 games under .500 and absolutely reeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you're trying to win in the bottom of the ninth and you have a runner on. I dunno, even then a single gets runners moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, bunting is not generally pretty dumb. It can actually be extremely effective, when executed well. It's just that generally most situations don't call for players to bunt. When you are talking about the White Sox, yes bunting is generally pretty dumb because most of them can't really bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
