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.

 

If he's really that unsure of his 2/3 hitters, then move Alexei to 2nd and Quentin to 3rd.

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

Even if that one on is moved to scoring position?

Is anyone on here sure of the 2 and 3 hitters? In this thread alone Dunn is worthless and Beckham is a bust.

calm down this is a good team we are just in a funk we will figure it out and get back on track......DONT STOP BELIEVING

Pierre caught stealing, Konerko picked off, and Beckham's bunt. Played with 24 outs tonight.

Nice at bats, Dunn and Paulie.

One run?

What a predictable joke of a team this is.

This April is slowly turning into a disaster after winning the first few series.

 

Just fire somebody and prove this year is different.

Oz, Kenny, somebody.

Fire away.

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.

No f*** that I don't believe

just feeling bad for Danks

Even if that one on is moved to scoring position?

 

Moving a runner into scoring position for Dunn is not even that important. I'd rather take my chances of Beckham first and thirding it with a single then relying on Dunn to get a base hit (especially with how awful he looks).

Has Pierre been CS 6 times in a row now?

Even if that one on is moved to scoring position?

yup

No f*** that I don't believe

FIRE GUILLEN!

we lost so who cares, doesnt matter and no point blaming ozzie, its not going to change anything

174-167 in their last 341 games that includes a 25-5 streak.

 

I'd like to know what the record has been since the second half collapse in '06. Good god if we don't win that coinflip in '08. This team really needs new direction. I'm talking from top to bottom. This organization is too stubborn for it's own good. And the obsession with loyalty and hiring former White Sox players for any position, regardless of if they're better, more qualified options out there, is pretty f***ing wack.

firing greg walker sounds good to me

At some point your players have to put it together. The pen has imploded, and the lineup has gone cold. One run out of this lineup is a joke no matter what night it is, even with a bunt or two. The 3,4,5 hitters on this team need to f***ing hit the damn ball and the rest of the guys need to slap some singles. I'm not sure how anyone in baseball could have managed a win with the performance by our offense today. Sucks for Danks who is having a stellar season.

FIRE GUILLEN!

 

 

Smartest thing that has been said on this board in days.

Definitely, the dude has done a hell of a job so far and has an 0-2 record to show for it.

 

So at what point do we look at the slow starts as less a product of talent than outside factors? This team is clearly better than last years but is quickly headed in the same direction. I know its early and all but digging a hole to climb out of is never a good way to run a team.

i think we're all on this board because we care...

I'm fairly sure Ozzie just wanted konerko to get an at bat since the rest of the hitters in front of him blow. I'm ok with that.

It's so much more satisfying to b**** and moan. I paid 100$ for the mlb.tv season and that's a lot of money for me . I have the right to b**** when these f***ers suck.
