Harry Chappas Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 25, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) In a situation that would have wasted Dunn anyways, bringing in Vizquel in that situation is a no-brainer. Right, you waste McPherson to get Oliver in to face Omar and Dunn is available for later in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) The problem was...he gave up an out by bunting AJ over to 2b, so yeah, he was looking to play small ball. In a game the Sox trailed by 1 in the 8th, two of the last six outs were directly caused by the managers decision making. That's pretty impressive.

I'm saying he wasn't asking DUNN to play small ball. He wanted Dunn for his power, not for his bunting or bat handling skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) This game was lost when Dunn struck out. Maybe Ozzie might not want to use him against a lefty in a pressure situation until he actually gets a hit off a lefty in a non-pressure situation.

fathom Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) This game was lost when Dunn struck out. Maybe Ozzie might not want to use him against a lefty in a pressure situation until he actually gets a hit off a lefty in a non-pressure situation. Make it simple...just don't play him at all against LHP. Promote Viciedo and DH him against LHP while getting him accustomed to LF once in a while.
