Cost us 1 run so far

Well that is 1 error, what is it going to cost us

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 31, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) Robin seems clueless most of the time. Fixed

QUOTE (flavum @ May 31, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) Sox win 5-3. Latos goes 7. Please? Optimism? Get away with that around here

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2016 -> 04:26 PM) For those who have been paying attention, this has already been happening. Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m1 minute ago Ventura wouldn't specify, but he cited Saladino's range while hinting his time could increase at SS. Rollins tomorrow, tho. Ventura is an idiot. Why start Rollins against RHP? Of course he starts Saladino against a LHP and Rollins against both RHP in this series.

Robin might be trying to get himself fired.. Let's play the new hit game show: How Will the White Sox Lose Tonight? A) Latos lets up 5+ runs B) Bullpen blows a lead C) We lose a low scoring close game by only scoring 2 runs or less D) Sox make 2+ errors leading to 3+ unearned runs and costs us the game E) Half our team gets food poisoning in the middle of the game because of some churros they ate earlier

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2016 -> 06:10 PM) *Melky Cabrera then bunted both runners over. Cabrera has bunted against Robin Ventura's wishes in the past, so it might not have been called from the dugout, but it didn't work. Todd Frazier popped out and J.B. Shuck grounded out to keep the game scoreless. SSS.com Margalus is right, maybe. But we'll never know in a million years if Cabrera bunted on his own, because that would mean there's an issue with Ventura...Robin won't "out" Melky. Not sure which one is worse really, the White Sox doing things on their own because they're letting the pressure get to them and making their own strategic decisions that fly in the face of reams of statistical evidence about the best ways to manufacture big innings...or Ventura's decision-making process being flawed or outdated? And yet more reason/s not to bunt. You didn't have Melky or Abreu hitting 5th. You had JB FREAKIN' SHUCK. Now all of a sudden Robin has undue confidence or misplaced loyalty because he liked having him on the team last year and Shuck came through in a few key PH situations? Based off Robin's comments it sounds like Robin called it

“With the way both guys were pitching, you figured one run was going to do it, so you’re trying to get him in scoring position,” Ventura said of the bunt strategy with Cabrera, who had struck out and hit a soft roller to second in his first two at-bats. “You’re able to get a guy in scoring position and … if you get two, you’re looking good.” SMH

NY writer tweeted that Ventura said he had Melky bunt with two on and no outs because they were playing for one run. Wow, just wow. What an idiot (Robin)

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) We need to dump the trash. Rollins, Avila, Sands... basically the players that bring nothing to the table. Get some new blood, call someone up. Make a trade. Fire the manager. Do something. Those three all our new blood that have been here for 2 months lol. But yes we need something different

Did Navarro even get a piece of the ball

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) It will be Avi, but why not Saladino? Was he already used at some point? Nope, sitting on the bench when he should be starting.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Who pinch hits leading off the 9th for us? The great Jerry Sands? Avisail Garcia? Navarro? Garcia was up on deck last inning

Addison Reed is not good enough to do that

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) 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

Right on Q pun attended

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 30, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) So what if it worked? Then we have 1 run, do you feel safe with just 1 run after everything that has happened?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 30, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Robin out dumbed himself that ining. The way this team has blown games, why play for 1 run?

Big reason why you don't bunt with your 3 hole hitter who has arguably been one of the best hitters all year. Robin playing for 1 run instead of 2+

Lol

Glad we are bunting with Cabrera

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 30, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) I think he meant to say LF, though. Said he played mostly RF last year and switched to LF with Eaton taking RF.

ESPN announcers don't know what they are talking about. Said Melky played RF last year.

Nice throw Melky

Easy
