Why would you ever bunt there

With noted speedster...[checks notes]....Omar Narvaez on third, why wouldn't you?

Eloy, Robert, Rutherford, Adolfo, Gonzalez, Walker, free agency in two years, etc.

Finally an answer to greg. Thank you! At least it's an answer. My rebuttal would be, "don't you folks realize it will be nice to have a couple White Sox veterans who have been thru the bad days?" You guys asking for youth and only youth are gonna be very disappointed I fear.

Tilson why you swinging 2-0 ?  Moncada hot today look at a few more pitches.

Avi is the reason I wanted JD Martinez when it appeared no one wanted to sign him. Very similar hitters and thought having JD would help Avi.

I was biggest advocate on here of going after JDM this past offseason.

Nobody has explained to me how the great KW and Rick Hahn, who are into new wave stats/etc would allow this crap to continue!! You can't bunt in modern baseball folks. There is no bunting in baseball!!

Fake news, this is high school softball. 

If the Sox lose 4-3, this will be my favorite game of the year. ?

Looks like you answered your own question.

There are times to bunt.  That was not one of them.

Maybe this will be where we bring in Ian at the end of the year.

Like I said, we've had great injury luck over the years. We're do. Eloy doesn't concern me at all. He could probably hold his own already. I think Robert's gonna be a really fast riser once he gets healthy, so that doesn't concern me much either. Hansen concerns me, but it's the nature of pitching. 

 

There's been some major plusses this year too. Collins, Rutherford, Adolfo and Cease have all taken big steps. I'm not a believer in Burger, so I don't really care about that. 

 

This is just how rebuilding goes. Some guys fail and some guys surprise you. 

We have had great injury luck, and you're right about those other guys making big steps. 

Just a reminder I suppose you can never have too much depth. It's hard to remember those other positives when the bigger names go down in injuries constantly.

Right up there with me

How in the hell is Volstad being used here, especially facing a lefty?  For the love of god, DFA Rondon.

Many new wave GMs would disagree with you. No bunting.

Nice!  Volstad in!

Ricky really is the worst manager around. Simply amazing how incompetent he is.

Tank Commander or it's their turn ? Keeps the other guys from being overused like earlier in the season when they couldn't handle it ?

Up the manager, not the GM.  Pitchers are used to bunt all the time.
