Hawk and Stoney saying that Renteria is trying to get the players in the mindset to learn and lay down good hunts when the team is good. Ok then Rick

When they are good, if Moncada is anywhere near where he is supposed to be, having him bunt would be the last thing on anyone's mind.

How bout trying to get our young superstar prospect more real at bats so he can become good first?

might need to start a gofund me for a sign by the ball park similar to the bulls fans that says no bunting.

makes no f***ing sense. Living in the liveliest of live ball eras; here is a bight f***ing idea lets do everything that is the converse of that...

It's like the Bulls and their idea that a poor shooting team could be really good.

 

Why you are making Yoan Moncada give up an AB is beyond me.

That still doesn't make much sense because you should almost never be bunting anyway, it's not a particularly useful skill.

 

It can be in certain circumstances. Not every single time we get a base runner like Rick seems to believe

Avi is back to swinging at everything.

Exactly, if Moncada hits his ceiling he is a potential 40/40 player

Getting closer to .300

So far 2 and counting....

Won't be hitting 40 steals with Ricky managing.

I do not disagree. There is some rationale in having guys bunt but not RBI guys IMO. The team needs to get good so in the meantime it's going to be a bit ugly to see

40 sac bunts

They're using the "it's practicing under game circumstances" as an excuse.

 

The problem continues to be that if there are any circumstances where we want Moncada sacrificing, EVER, then we have failed in his player development.

The only guys I ever want bunting are pitchers or guys who hit like pitchers. Hopefully Moncada can hit better than a pitcher, and if he can then I don't want him ever bunting.

That still doesn't make much sense because you should almost never be bunting anyway, it's not a particularly useful skill.

 

Bunting is a useful tool when used at the appropriate times

 

I hate the bunt with a passion, but if your manager is going to be an idiot about it, why wasn't Yoan practicing that in the minors? I'm sure the great Buddy Bell must have forgot to get things aligned.

Btw, I disagree with wanting to see Saladino more at 3rd.

 

I don't know that Davidson ever will turn into the player he could have become, but we need to find out.

Renteria needs to go to Bunters Anonymous or something, this is ridiculous.

 

I apologize for everything I ever criticized about you Robin... I've never quite seen this boneheaded of a manager.

After the last two starts by Gonzo I hereby appoint him the Sox ace

Nice Engel.

How about next time there's a managerial opening, they actually interview someone

He seems to be one of those guys who is either really good, or really bad.

Wow Engel! Bring in Kahnle

I have some bad news...

Fine, bring in DRob

Engel is really holding his own. Between him and Leury I feel pretty decent about CF next year.
