“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

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) 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

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) 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

Woo team?

Can't wait to hear what clueless, nerdy glasses Robin has to say
