Why are we bunting with two strikes? I love what Renteria brings to the table overall, but good god his love for bunting sucks.

He must have absolutely no confidence in Engel as a hitter.

I don't know why they are bunting anyway, but if the first 2 attempts did not show you it wasn' t going to work, it boggles the mind.

Hated all of that.

 

Kinda surprised he ever lasted with the Cubs given how much Theo hates bunting

That's usually something you only see in the NL with a pitcher batting.

Melky!!!!

What a blast

The Melk Man delivers again!

What a weird baseball game.

 

Swarzak + Robertson and lets go home

Figuratively of course but if the ASG rosters were announced today, who would the Sox rep be? Kahnle?

Abreu and Garcia for sure

Abreu and Garcia for sure

Without looking hard, there aren't 1B's better than Abreu?

 

Forgot about Garcia

Mr. K !

Garcia would be the Sox rep to the ASG... there could be real consideration for Swarzak/Kahnle as well. Abreu seems like more of a long-shot to me.

 

Speaking of Kahnle, that kid's changeup is in the 90's and just casually picked up a couple more strikeouts. One more inning.

AL 1b are down big time this year. He easily stands out as within the top 2 in the league

Kahnle is awesome

As soon as I write about it, Benetti brings it up. Jason, get your own material.

 

Astros in the process of putting up 8 and maybe more on the Twins in one inning. 11 now, Beltran homer, still not over in the 8th.

 

3 1/2 gb if things stand in both games.

 

8-2 lead turns to 13-8 reversal.

Robertson nails it down! Nice win! I love it. Now let's take care of Sale tomorrow!

The only other AL 1B that are having decent seasons are Justin Smoak and Logan Morrison but Abreu has a better BA than both. They have a few more HRs but RBIs are basically the same.

winner! what a job from the pen!

True team effort by the White Sox.

 

Need Jones, Putnam and Petricka back before the bullpen burns out...but only thing to do is enjoy it for now.

Fly that red arrow pointing up flag .

All the great 1B are in the NL, in the AL the only 1B having a comparable year to Abreu is Logan Morrison and Justin Smoak. Abreu should be in as of right now.

Kahnle

Swarzak

Abreu

Avi

Holland

Robertson

 

We'll get just one, though...most managers would probably take Kahnle the way he's going now. Leury Garcia even merited consideration a week ago. Davidson hasn't played enough, but his hr/ab number is quite impressive.

You can definitely make a case that Jose has been the best 1b in the AL so he should get some real consideration.
