damn you

It was obvious he had no chance. There will be a time when pitchers have no chance against him. Hopefully soon.

Right now, Dunn's swinging an invisible bat. Just a whopping number of strike outs...he'd made Jordan Danks, Jared Mitchell, and Tyler Flowers blush.

He'll do that. Those guys with they could put up a 900 ops in the majors.

 

 

Shields with a gem. f***.

I'm sure that bunting will pay off sometime this year...we're about 0-9 with it so far.

It was just a matter of time until it's all Walkers fault wasn't it? Coopers fault for the first week and a half, now it's walkers.

What does it matter whether he bunts or not. Beckham's not hitting anything. Maybe Dunn or Paul bloops one. Either way we lose.

He threw meatballs in the 9th, but we just can't square up a f***ing 92 mph fastball. I've never seen our hitters chase so many 2 strike fastballs.

Nice job by 3 and 4 hitters just pathectic. 1st complete game for Shields in 3 FN years.

That's almost 1-9, gotta look at the bright side.

Why is it always assumed a DP when a bunt is called? How often does Beckham hit into DPs? A lot less than he reaches base. Why not try a hit and run or have Beckham try to hit the ball to the right side. If Dunn gets a hit, there's a decent chance its for extra bases or maybe he coaxes a walk and even if Beckham doesn't advance him Pierre is on second.

yeah who knows, maybe with 2 on no out maddon goes to the pen and it's a different story. Beckham gets out, well then it wouldn't have changed the outcome. As it was, you were GUARANTEEING that it would be harder to win.

 

Odds of scoring go significantly down from 1 on no out to 1 on 1 out

Most likely Ozzie knew there was a 100 percent better chance of konerko getting a hit than beckham and Dunn. And I can't say I disagree with him there.

We only hit and run with Quentin up and Konerko on base. This managing is just comical.
