I hate the f***ing bunt.

i believe i heard that last night too

sweet f***ing inning....

Wasted opportunities come back to bite us in the ass, most of the time.

Our execution on offense has been terrible the last couple of nights.

Hawk and Stone way off base. Calling out Beckham for a baserunning error? How about Pods made an awful bunt and it was his fault. Geez guys.

Niemann with a nifty play to deny Alexei what SHOULD have been a run-scoring single to tie it up.

Dear Ozzie,

Your Friend, Earl Weaver

Corpse ball. Nieman is half man half amazing

they do have a point he was on the move for third as pods was squaring around like he was trying to steal

 

This.

Seconded. Exhibit #1000 why not to bunt. Just let him pull the ball for a hit.

 

The high fastball is Richard's friend tonight.

off topic anyone know the aflac trivia question? only sox to have 4 k's in one inning in 1997?

I will never understand the mentality that says we should let professional hitters, give themselves up just to move a damn runner over.

White Sox have led 32 total innings against the Rays this year, the Rays still ONLY 5 now (which is at least one reason to think the White Sox might be capable of getting to the playoffs and doing some damage).

Nice inning, CR

Especially a guy hitting around .305.

 

With BA playing, the score would be 0-0 (I'm assuming he also would have bunted into a DP in the 9th spot after Beckham).

Solid 4th for CR.

Especially a guy hitting around .305.

 

how bout it

Especially a guy hitting around .305.

Coming off a 4-4 too

Si I mean geez LH hitter GO to the right side gets the job done, just uncalled for with 0 outs and the man already on 2nd.

the rays have quickly become like the red sox and yankees, their line up is deep and outside of 2 free swingers most of their line up is patient

Technically Beckham was probably too aggressive there, at 2nd base you ought to be able to see if a bunt is popped up before you're going full speed to 3rd. But yeah, 90/10 Pods's fault.

Bit less scary without Pena in the lineup.

If he's only hitting .300 and he was 4/4 last night, that means he's due to go an extra 0/8 right?
