April 4, 201115 yr I just want Ozzie to know his players better. You've been here for this long and still don't know Alexei isn't a great bunter (sure he'll get one down from time to time, but is not consistent enough) Pierre, Vizquel are the best bunters on your team.

And from what I have seen, Alexei hasn't looked completely lost and terrible at baseball thus far either, which is a huge change from his normal Aprils

An inning or so later, Pierre dropped down a bunt and advanced Vizquel, and I had much less problem with it.

He's looked awful. Had 1 hard hit ball all weekend, and that was a rolling, hanging breaking ball from some POS reliever.
April 4, 201115 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 4, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) I abhor off-days. I didn't mean to be an offday asshole. I was just wondering aloud about the fact a skinny big leaguer, just a few days after the conclusion of spring training can look awful on the first attempt at the simple act of bunting, then bunts into a triple play. Huge mojo killer. We lead 1-0 and can have second and third and one out. Arguably a killer in trying to sweep the Tribe. I get the reasoning, just am ready to sign a petition to deliver to Jerry that say no more bunting until big leaguers actually can pass a bunting test. Lexi obviously can't bunt except to drag bunt for a hit like somebody said. Peace.
April 5, 201115 yr Nice Sox groupon today. Includes patio party before the game. Several games to choose from. EDIT: I wound up getting tickets to the 4/16 game with some friends. Perhaps this would be an ideal setting for another Soxtalk meetup? Edited April 5, 201115 yr by BigSqwert
April 5, 201115 yr It's kind of funny to think that Ozzie had Alexei bunt, so keep him away from grounding into a double play, and instead he bunts into a triple play. lol.

Ozzie is a stubborn fool with all of his bunting. Some day he'll realize that he has a softball team and stop playing as if it's 1957.
April 5, 201115 yr I randomly just found this awesome image of Ozzie. Edited April 5, 201115 yr by Steve9347

April 7, 201115 yr Author Stat of the day from ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...ce=MLBHeadlines statistician and master baseball observer Bill Chuck points out, Guerrero needs only 28 more sacrifice bunt-free games to pass Carlos Delgado and move into third place behind Harmon Killebrew (2,435 games) and Frank Thomas (2,322) on the all-time list.

April 8, 201115 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:44 AM) Trevor Cahill and Dallas Braden? Lawl they dont scare me at all Sox will get Braden, Cahill, and Anderson next week. Cahill went 8 innings today. 1 run, no walks, 7 k's. Good matchup with Jackson. Edited April 8, 201115 yr by flavum

April 8, 201115 yr Boone Logan is a top ten trend on Twitter right now. Apparently he doesn't like getting guys out.

April 8, 201115 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) Bartolo was damn good today though. I was suprised that he's still showing consistent velocity. He was hitting 93 with decent movement.
April 8, 201115 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) With KC's loss we are now in sole possession of 1st place. We're tied with the Indians.
