So a knuckleballer goes 9 innings...has a fast ball that can't top 83. How many steals did we get in this game? How many LOB? How many RISP? Oh...and our 3B got picked off from about a foot off the bag. Robin won't risk stealing bases against a knuckleballer slow ass pitcher but man...he LOVES to bunt. lol.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) Duke pulled an el Duque.

Got'em anyway. Wow. Runs scored via bunts? 0

THAT was awesome. Roberts fans Bogaerts in 3 pitches. The same guy who got to see 21 out of 73 pitches from Gonzalez and only got a walk. As I type this, Papi singles.

Still another RISP. Get him in.

He missed a gimme last time against their starter. AWESOME TO SEE he wasn't going to be fooled again.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) 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. A title anyone would be proud of. Meanwhile he has 1 steal in one attempt. yes!!!!!

STOP f***ING BUNTING!!!!!

See? Shuck bunting.

Wow. If the Sox don't win this game - they all deserve to be fired. What a gift of an inning.

1st and 2nd, no outs...bottom of the 9th for the Red Sox. Gee....why aren't they bunting their way to victory?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) Anyone can run into one with a knuckleballer. You are basing that off nothing. Coming in 66 hits allowed in 89 innings. 4 or 5 hits allowed tonight. Coats has 0 career hits. You really are bad at math. I saw Tim Anderson hit him. What's the math on that? How many knucklerballers has he seen.....ever?

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) Damn. Should have bunted. Exactly. Because: "Haven't you seen the league average against this guy???!!!111!!!!"

Jesus. Brett gets so flustered. After that 1st pitch bad call, you just knew he would put his head in his own azz.

Come on Todd....so due.

It's giving up an out. Anyone can run into a hit against a knuckleballer. Trying to bunt one is about as stupid a call as you can make; magnified by 10x in a 1-1 game in the 8th.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Yeah Jason Coats is a huge threat too. Just as much as fat ass Avi scoring from second on a hit. Giving away outs is stupid with this offense.

Yeah. Gave up an out in a tie game while not in the 9th or at home. Brilliant.

Oh yeah...a bunt.

Only the Sox would be in the 8th against a starting knuckleballer with under 80 PITCHES.

Bailed out by Nate with one pitch. GET RUNS NOW.

Classic Sox. Nice work tonight by Gonzalez. Of course, the obvious last batter (worst hitter on the team) gets a hit, drives in a run, and a gaffe advances runners just to put extra pressure on things.... s***show.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 20, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) Wow. The fans cheering for the groundout thinking it got through for a hit when it got past Abreu lol Go to a game at Fenway and you'll feel like your at Wrigley, except with a DH.

Man - Gonzalez is having a great night. He's hitting 95, working the ball in/out/up/down...changing speeds, throwing breaking stuff for strikes. Battling with tough hitters (Bogaerts, especially). Get some damn runs, boys. Come on.
