You absolutely don't bunt in this situation. Even if successful, you're taking bat out of CQ's hands.

Yeah.

Terrible...first real bad managerial decision by Ozzie this year.

Eh, try for a double steal. Why not?

I would rather have Josh swinging here.

Yeah this is dumb.

I love the patience we're showing at the plate, and i hate the bunt. These kid's can hit, LET THEM.

Caught a break...let's get those runs back here.

Holy s*** SPEED!

holy hell!!!

LILLI!

Speed kills

I'll say this...Lillibridge is fantastic on the bases.

Pop to very shallow right. Iwamura catches it on his heels and Lilli scores!

Wow, that one took some balls.

The kid wants a spot on this team when Nix comes back. If he starts playing center, he might just get it.

Paulie hits a laser right into Longoria's glove.

Mark has a WHIP of 2.00 today.

he's shown to be a great asset on the bases, but with a bat he's been absolute garbage, i think he's being a bit (quite a bit) overrated on here

I love me some speed,lilli is impressive on the base paths

Buehrle with a lot of pitches. Looks like we might get Dotel for two innings tonight.

Really? How so? Nobody here has much faith in his bat, seems the consensus is that Getz should've started this game.

I wouldn't mind giving Macdougal a scrub 9th (with a pretty quick hook) if the lead is still 5.

How is that?

 

There's probably no other player on the roster, other than MacDougal and Owens, who has been trashed more than Lillibridge.

BA, and as bad as he's hit, his career BA has been better, his OBP this year is better. Lillibridge gets more love for a guy who is hitting .067 and has a career major league average under .200 than just about anyone. He is fast, I'll give him that. I wonder how mad some are Joey Gathright didn't sign with the Sox.

 

Anderson throwing a guy out at third tonight saved Buehrle some pitches and maybe some runs.

He actually hit the ball on the button his second at bat and would have had extra bases if not for a nice catch by Kapler....

He'll be ok. Better than friggin Betemit...
