Abreu bunting with predictable results.

The moment I turned on Ricky Renteria.

Jacked! I'm an Avi believer?!?

Avi make them pay bigly.

AVVVIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!

Abreu bunting with predictable results.

I just turned the game on, but did Abrue actually try a sac bunt?

What if Avi is actually good now?

Avi just soooo looks the part, makes it hard not to fall in love with him.

Yeah, then Avi showed him how to hit with runners on.

Weird when you just know a players about to crush one. Avi is must watch tv right now

Why couldn't Avi do this in the last 3 years?

 

Would be nice to see Miguel throw a complete game shutout, or just a complete game and give that bp a days rest.

Well... hes 25

All our Garcia's have hit a HR today.

 

Last year when people would ask about anything Avi did right I made sure to point out he was one of the best Sox hitters with RISP. If he took that approach and applied it to all his AB's he may have found something.

 

Avi got some love on MLB network today appearing on the Rundown about his hot start. They took a few twitter questions from fans and one asked him to hit a HR for him tonight. Avi gave the diplomatic answer but might see a reference to it on MLB network highlights tonight.

Good god, not a good sign for Renteria's in-game strategy.

So Miguel Gonzalez is gonna Maddux the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, huh? This sport is weird.

I'm not watching but I'm going to guess that's something Jose did on his own.

Thames is the bigger story, going from an MLB flameout and Korea to the best player in baseball for two weeks (Tuffy Rhodes/Chris Shelton shout outs), but Avi's having a heckuva two weeks as well for himself.

Abreu had to do that on his own as Hawk said. He had already K'd twice and probably not seeing the ball real well against Severino. Hey at least he didn't hit into a DP though if the Yanks let that popup drop it's an easy Dp maybe even a triple play since Abreu didn't bother to run it out. In fact he was turned around heading back to the dugout as the ball was caught.

It's not like he doesn't have a ton of experience against them, pitching for the Orioles for all those years.

 

Of course, familiarity works the other way, too. Not usually to the benefit of the pitcher.

Add me to list of expecting that Jose thought that was a good odea

Thank you guys for clarifying, I retract my Renteria rip.

Miggy has just thrown his 69th pitch, its BOT 8 right now, that's nuts.

Yeah, you could argue he was trying to be a "team player," knew quite well how badly he's been struggling, wanted to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING positive.

 

That said, he's paid to drive the ball, and pick up RBI's, and trying to do something way outside of your skill set might be great for symbolic teammate purposes but is usually going to end up counterproductive.

Holy s*** he's actually going to pull off the Maddux, this is very cool.

I mean, at least he avoided the dp lol. But yeah, I think Avi should now be batting third.
