Good block by Vasquez.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) Got to play for one run early and for the big inning late! 2 runs is a big inning when your only run in the entire game scored due to a wild pitch.

It all comes down to Abreu against a 99-100 MPH fastball.

How do you NOT have Anderson bunting there...of all the times he chooses to NOT do it? He's probably the best bunter in the entire organization.

This is nutty. Kimbrel pitching his third straight day. Anderson eaten alive there.

Is that Layne or Ross warming? At any rate, he's a LHP.

David Robertson and Albers warming. Shuck gets a base hit. Wow. That's a shocker. Can they really not score here? Big situation for Tim Anderson to sacrifice successfully...

Now Shuck is NOT bunting? Hmmm...what the hell? Missed sign? McEwing looked in the dugout twice. Why in God's name would you wait there against a 100 MPH fb?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) Bold move by Robin to put the first three batters of the inning on base, but it worked out. Let's win this bastard now! He wanted to impress future employers with the patented five infielder defensive array...?? Kimbrel on now. Tough tough no decision for Wright. ERA down to 2.01. Kimbrel at 1.98.

Well...we've pulled a tie out of the jaws of defeat. But can we actually score a run?

LOL. Shades of El Duque in 2005 in the playoffs. No Johnny Damon beard.

Another stop/save by Avila. Making it interesting.

Ventura brilliance... Almost threw that away. One hopper on the throw, Avila almost dropped it. First career at bat for the Red Sox with LeMarre here. AL debut. Hockey player, All Big 10 at Michigan.

Larry at SSS has already written the perfect obituary for the Hahn years...everyone should read it. Even if it's a bit premature in real time.

Ventura is one of the lowest paid managers in MLB. Compared to guys like Maddon or Francona, he's a pauper.

Hostetler says. Not sure about Fabian (advanced stats/scouting/tech geek). Haber was hired by Hahn, so not sure how much we can trust him.

C'mon Ventura....go with just one outfielder. It would be your legacy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 07:57 PM) They tried. Dumb. They then walk Shaw to set up the DP with Vasquez. No point to keep it on.

MIGUEL ASENCIO. MIGUEL ASENCIO!!!!! No confidence in fastball...lol. All splitters. "This guy deserves a loss. Horrendous. This is what you call, get the hook!" NESN

Red Sox announcers amazed Putnam is throwing splitter after splitter after splitter.

Young bunts, they just walk Shaw to face Vasquez.

Duke is warming up in the bullpen. Evil of two lessers or lesser of two evils? Let's try 6 on the infield today, just for fun and to make the highlights....or 7 and just one fielder wherever the batter's likely to pull it in the outfield.

SIGH. Here we go again...White Sox always find interesting ways to blow games, especially on the road.

I think the most damning statistic heard today was losing 17 of their last 22 games against the AL Central. That's just...no words to describe it. Putnam has deceptive stuff but it's not dominating enough to completely miss bats, either. Generous high strike call.

Dreaded leadoff walk. PR? Is Pedroia hurt?
