SO what's your point ? He's on this team to be a slapdick that doesn't strike out. If he can't be a slapdick that can move a runner from second to third then he has no reason to be on this team. SO that's my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sounds like your point was a hitter can hit a GB to the right side any time he wants to and you know that isn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusguyman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I have a masters in engineering, so you can trust my napkin calculations which tell me the exit velocity of that ball was approximately 10 billion MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile over his last 7 games, Jurado has pitched like dick and has a near 8 ERA. Moncada and McCann are showing what you are supposed to do to pitching like this. Not bunt.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 so 2 bunts result in 2 runs plus a HR with a guy on base. This is not an argument to support RR just saying so far it's worked out twice and we added extr runs and it' 4-0 after ,.. make that 5-0 before the 3rd inning is finished. McCann !!

Moan4Yoan Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) The lineup is so much better with Timmay and Moncada. Next year should be fun with Robert and Madrigal set to replace a couple holes in our lineup, sign a free agent RF, and find a DH somewhere (Yermin?) until Vaughn is ready.

McCann !! would have scored anyway with the second bunt. You just gave them an out. It cannot be determined if the run would have scored with the first bunt, but with the guy on the mound, good gift out. The Sox scored 5 runs with 8 outs. 25% of the outs were gifts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok if you are going to be unreasonable and make non sensenscal posts I have no further use to debate this. You know hitters can't do things just because they have to or want to otherwise how do any teams ever win if everyone does exactly what they have to or need to do. All games would be 30 runs per side if what you say is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
