Come on Freddy, one more!

Tie game.

And we're tied. Get him out Ozzie, this is an awful performance. Pirates will have the lead shortly if Garcia stays in the game.

Freddy against a last place team = a recipe for disaster.

Someone really should be batting for Garcia this inning. Pen should be extremely fresh.

Sox up 5-4, Twins down 1-0.

Beckham 2 for 3, 3 RBI.

Beckham swinging a magic wand tonight! 3 RBI and hasn't come close to hitting a ball hard.

Hard combination to bunt here with Castro on 2nd.

 

Good try with the quasi-butcher boy

Yep, ANOTHER UNSUCCESSFUL BUNT! Terrible baseball by the Sox.

Ozzieball! Juan is due.

Beckham's been getting some really lucky hits this game.

 

He needs it, he's been having just terrible luck all year.

Well, we're still leading.

 

Freddy still in.

Should have pinch hit for him...sigh.

He has? When you don't hit the ball hard, it's not really bad luck. Rios is definitely our tough luck hitter.

Agreed, best chance of winning was going Santos/Thornton/Putz/Jenks for an inning while trying to add more runs in the top of the 6th.

His LD% is barely lower than what it was last year and he's got a .250 BABIP.

 

That's bad luck.

 

Plus, he's hitting far more ground balls this year, and those usually go for a higher average than fly balls.

Get Freddy out of there.

And that's why that stat can be deceptive. Beckham has hit just a million weak choppers to the pitcher and right side this season. He probably hasn't hit more than 20 line drives all season.

One of the worst players in baseball almost homered against him.

Santos in, 2 out, man on 2nd.

25 line drives actually.

 

We'll never know how hard he's hitting those grounders, but truth is, once the sample gets large enough, it'll even itself out. There's always the luck factor in all of this. We know there is a good amount of ground balls that go for hits even though they're nothing but little choppers.

 

Look what Beckham's done today with those.

False, as he is not pitching against Jayson Nix.

Nix doesn't make millions though
