All these cheap ass hits

Good thing Melky plays everyone in the warning track

White Sox getting killed with two out rallies these last two games....Swarzak finally returning back to earth, with no help from Leury and a wild pitch.

 

2.63 ERA

Thank god they played for one run last inning

ALL OF THIS WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THAT STUPID BUNT THE INNING BEFORE...WHITE SOX GO AHEAD 2-0, the entire game changes in complexion.

 

Blow the opportunity, you ALMOST always give up runs the next inning.

 

This is not the NL. The AL teams just have way too much firepower to play small ball like it's 2005 the first two months.

 

Starting to think the Cubs were right on Renteria....he's like Torborg/Manuel, good managers at working with youngsters but NOT the right man to lead them to the promised land. (But at least he played a major role in getting Luis Robert and will be around until the beginning of the 2019 season or halfway through that year.)

Let's score some f***ing runs.

Seems like quite the leap of faith there. The bunting sucks but otherwise I have no real complaints. The guys appear to be playing with much more swag/confidence under Renteria and we're not seeing the team wide slumps we've witnessed multiple times a year in the past.

Bottom of the order gotta get it done...please don't bunt. I wouldn't be against it if these guys could execute, but they just can't bunt. Please don't.

He's got to go. The bunting thing is a huge deal. He's a relic. Bunts suck. Proven time and again.

Bunt Davidson, bunt Davidson...

 

Just missed it, lol. At least it wasn't a DP.

 

 

 

If I'm the Red Sox, I walk Anderson to load the bases and get Kevan Smith to roll into a DP.

 

Smith will hit a three run jack here just to mess with us.

Here comes a plethora of high fastballs

Sox catching is quite powerful

Still would have been a DP had they walked Anderson.

 

Got away with facing the red hot Timmy. Oh, well.

 

 

Sox catchers with RISP this season is the like the days of "bad" Tyler Flowers and Mark Johnson.

Not to get to far off topic but remember Torborg was forced out by Ron Schueler who wanted to hire his own guy. That in my opinion was a major mistake. I have no doubt the Sox would of done extremely well in the next few seasons had he been allowed to remain. It also wouldn't have hurt had Larry Himes not turned down a deal that was offered to him in spring training 1990 from the Yankees. New York wanted starting pitcher Eric King and Steve Lyons. They were willing to offer Hal Morris...and...Bernie Williams!

Swarzak might have had one of all time bad luck innings last night. One ball hit hard and that was on a really good pitch. The others were bleeders and an intentional walk. It's pretty amazing you can give up 4 runs like that.

 

And for the bunt haters, it isnt going away. They cranked up a pitching machine to work on bunting with some more velocity.
