Fucking bunt again.  And they got lucky.  But DP is in order now.

Ultimately the pitcher decides what to throw and how to execute that pitch, you are trying to defend a claim that is impossible to defend.

Throwing the same pitch 4 times in a row in the same location isn't horrible? What planet are you from???

That was a terrible bunt. Mets defense is worse. 

What the hell is this shit.  Im so sick of this bunting shit.

More bunts!?

He's out of the game, but spots like this is why I want Moncada in that spot over Abreu.

So we were playing for the tie?

As horrible as the Madrigal pick or even worse?

 

The fucking pitcher decides what to throw. He has the ball in his hand.

Someday we’ll have a real manager. I can’t wait. 

Ricky’s boys don’t quit bunting

More bunting...crazy that worked.  

Renteria thinks he’s with the 85 Cardinals or 2014-15 Royals...along with those shutdown bullpens.

Three different guys attempting bunts so far this inning.  Might as well just have Jose try a squeeze to go for the all time record.

I don't get the bunting with guys on 2/3rd.   Now it's DP situation. Might as well have been an intentional walk. 

Renteria needs to be fired after this game, regardless of the outcome.

This start and Giolito's starts Thursday and vs. The Cubs in Wrigley are exhibit A for it. He walked right into the opposition's hands. 

The amount of 2 strike hits Sox pitchers are giving up with him behind the plate is astounding. On 4-5 of the hits Lopez gave up tonight, he was ahead in the count. 

Lol how is that his fault?

There's a huge misunderstanding about my opinion on Madrigal and Vaughn. I don't think they were bad picks per se, but I do think they were more risky than people realize. I don't like players with those types of profiles in the top 5. It's just a philosophy opinion. They both have a ton of positives about their games, but I wouldn't have taken a player like them until the 6-10 range. They definitely have talent, but not a ton of positional versatility. 

Madrigal has answered all of my questions and then some. He's great.  A lot of my criticisms of him were because I forgot he had a wrist injury. That excuses him. We'll wait and see with Vaughn.

Abreu incredibly late on a fastball down the middle, he looks awful

For whatever reason, I like our odds better of landing Gerrit Cole than actually hiring a quality, experienced manager, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of the day when this nonsense finally ends.
