This team is one big f***up! Not to score in that inning is unreal.

That's the type of inning that should get Ozzie fired immediately.

Oh God.

How does a 3rd base umpire make a call while looking at home plate?

Oh God.

 

I'd love to hear your reason for disagreeing.

Oh God.

 

Do you disagree? Ozzie has cost this team probably 5 games off the top of my head.

That's actually a very difficult decision when you consider if there's a check swing, he has to be the one making the call. Just a fluke play. Of course Hawk hasn't realized yet how awkward of a situation it is.

Now, there's an ump getting caught up in the play/crowd. Terrible call at 3rd base. Just terrible.

 

Guillen and his NL bulls*** goes from 2 men on 0 outs and a 2-0 count to a failed bunt and a strike them out throw them out double play.

 

So guillens bulls*** about his comments being taken out of context, he must of forgot that the big camera doesn't have context.

I'm referring more to the immediate firing hyperbole.

Does anyone have this stat? baseball-reference?

 

Teams that have scored the least amount of runs per opportunity with runners at 1st and 2nd and no outs, and runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs?

 

And bases loaded with less than 2 outs?

 

I would be shocked if we weren't worst in the AL in at least 2 of those 3 categories.

 

Theoretically, the Mariners or Twins might be worse, but I doubt it. They don't get enough baserunners on.

I've wanted Ozzie gone since last summer.

I love the sign in the pregame for the Braves last night where one of the fans held up a sign that said "Stop Bunting!"

Thing is, Fenway is a terrible park for Juan to hit with the LF being able to play so shallow. Trying to bunt the runner to third to get Juan up for one out is a very unlikely sac fly situation.

OH that just pisses me off 1st Ozzie does his NL bulls*** ,righty who's figuring it out against a struggling lefty and calls for a bunt. like its the bottom of the ninth and all we need is one run. Then 2 terrible calls by the umps on the same play. Yea I know it's hindsight since Morel couldn't get the bunt down but knowing Pierre is up next its assinine. Play to break the game open . If Peavy holds the Red Sox to 0 runs the rest of the way I'll admit I was wrong but now I'm just fuming.

Is there another AL team that attempts more unsuccessful/poorly executed bunts than we do?

Pierre clearly went on that pitch. Seems like he got distracted by the runners. Great rest of post though

Wow didnt see this very similar to mine .

Morel's like 1 or 2 for 6 bunting this year.

I saw the replay of his swing looked to me like he barely moved it.

It was more like a punch than a swing, but it was the right call.

Toronto pounding Cleveland 11-1. They're coming down some. But we can't take advantage.

I love twitter. Just searching Ozzie's name gives you all sorts of Yankees fans saying how painful it must be for White Sox fans to have to deal with Ozzie and his bunting.

Guillen really needs to stop managing as he is putting players in position to fail rather than succeed. He needs to sit back and let them paly.

 

As meh as Peavy has looked, Lester has looked worse, yet their offense will get him a W

Lester at 96 pitches thru 5.

Guess the bright side is Lester has thrown almost 100 pitches. Probably won't see him past the 6th.
