To me, it was the exact same situation.

Gordon Beckham isn't Mickey Mantle (yet) and Juan Pierre isn't Rickey Henderson.

If Beckham is going to have to bunt twice in a game, he should immediately be moved out of the 2 hole. Its pretty much universally felt, the White Sox are offensively challenged, considering the league they play in. Having maybe your best hitter sac. twice in the same game is silly. What happened to stolen bases? I thought that was one thing Pierre brings to the table.

Seemingly yes, considering how vehemently you're disagreeing, and I don't think I'm wrong.

Choo, Brantley, Sizemore, Valbuena, Cabrera > White Sox

Ramirez, Pierre, Bunt, Quentin.

Speed and defense.

 

That is how to get a big hit.

 

It would be great if we used our speed and played good defense.

 

That's why we're going to lose this game.

nice waste of 4 hours

hey you guys think the royals would trade Getz for Teahen?

Are some people chanting Grady SizeLESS? LOL.

Choo, Brantley, Sizemore, Valbuena > White Sox

Pierre, Beckham, Jones/Kotsay, Rios, Ramirez? That's 5 spots that can genuinely run. Quentin can score from 1st on a double while healthy. I have no clue on Teahen. Konerko and Pierzynski are slow, but come on, Hafner? Redmond/The other guy?

indians have a superior lineup to ours

This is hilarious...the Indians have like 26 hits in this series. Id have to say at least half are of the blooper/bleeder variety. What a joke.

I think this team just might perform better with a different manager at the helm.

 

Call me nuts. Gordon Beckham should not be bunting twice in a ballgame.

It would be great if we used our speed and played good defense.

 

That's why we're going to lose this game.

I think Hafner does not score if Rios was playing RF on that double.

Yep

 

Sox have 14 hits in 28 innings

 

Must be nice to have players that can drive in runs with base hits. we have ZERO on the year. Only runs on HR, sacflies and groundouts

Neither Jones and Kotsay are fast.

Probably.

Wow

We really might have to move Beckham to 3rd and Nix to 2nd. I think this is a worst case scenario, but it might have to happen if Teahen struggles for the next two weeks.

How did that one not get out of here?

Good game, good night, peace

Neither Jones and Kotsay are fast.

Jones steals bases and goes 1st to 3rd on singles.

 

he's fast enough.

damn

lol

5-3, Nice.

And that's why they wouldn't have bunted with their #2 hitter.
