Can't agree with that reasoning. Bunting is a valid and effective strategy. We had one out and two runners in scoring position and our bug hitter up
There are certain situations where it is smart to bunt. 0-0 game in the 7th inning when your bullpen has been hot trash against a pitcher who has struggled the 3rd time through a line up with your 3 hole and most consistent hitter all year up is the exact time not to do it. Was a garbage call

So what if it worked?
Then we have 1 run, do you feel safe with just 1 run after everything that has happened?

Robin out dumbed himself that ining.
The way this team has blown games, why play for 1 run?

I think he meant to say LF, though.
Said he played mostly RF last year and switched to LF with Eaton taking RF.

There is something to say for the veteran presence in a lineup don't you think?
No, he is one player who doesn't bring anything more then Saladino does.
Regional match ups just came out.
Southeast Missouri State is facing Mississippi State. Could be a Lucchessi vs. Hudson match up on Friday night, everyone should be watching

While Saladino has been playing more often (look it up if you don't believe me), the White Sox have lost the last 10 games he has played in. It probably doesn't mean anything, but to contrast the White Sox are 3-3 and 4-6 in the last stretch when Rollins plays.
Oh come on lol.
QUOTE (GreenSox @ May 30, 2016 -> 09:53 AM)
Saladino playing regularly is a big negatory.
Saladino OPS: .670
Rollins: .631
The defensive difference speaks for itself.
Hmm, indeed. And people think I make this stuff up.
Look at the splits against RHP. It is absurd to ever start Rollins against a RHP
Joey Lucchesi threw a complete game shutout on Friday to open up the OVC Tournament and came back today to pitched three shutout innings to get the save on the championship game.. I really hope we grab him in the 5th or 6th

Kahnle over Jones?
Jones was never up.. He should have put Kahnle in when Robertson loaded the bases and had 20 pitches already
