The Elf ought to wind up on 2nd really quick here. Just make sure he's going home.

Lillibridge please.

 

Be careful if you're going to steal....Beckham's not automatic with contact, and Valverde's control is non-existent.

 

NO BUNTING!!!!

Nice by AJ, don't help him out necks, Cleveland losing too

I could steal second with this pitcher. I hope Ozzie doesn't waste a bunt here.

Gordon trying to bunt.....why Ozzie

WTF??? Giving away an out

f*** bunting

Perfect first pitch by Valverde, almost impossible to bunt.

Valverde didn't even look at Lillibridge there.

Dangit Gordon.

This is excruciating

We might have the worst hitting bench in the history of the AL.

 

WHY WHY WHY force Beckham to do somthing he's not comfortable with when he's been hitting so well the last 15 days?

You let Valverde off the hook by trying to bunt there, control is his problem.

If they can't do things like finish off a sweep after being spotted 3 runs, then they don't deserve the division.

 

 

You take 2 out of 3, but how many times the past few years have the Sox failed to sweep after winning the first 2 of 3? It seems is almost an automatic loss.

 

Becks can't bunt. What a joke.

 

I'm just saying I can't imagine a scenario in which we win all 3 in Detroit.

Not this year.

I do agree with you guys, but the key to our season has been the home disasters.

If Ozzie wanted a bunt, why not just put in Omar to do the job? Whatever.

That last pitch was ripable.

boy, that was the pitch to hit

Valverde seems to have not much.

Missed a hanging offspeed pitch after the steady diet of fastballs.

 

Somehow Gordon got Lillibridge over the 2B, but he should have been there with the steal with how slow Valverde is to the plate.

When we look back at the season, we wouldn't say that it was games like this that cost the season, you're right, we'd say that it was the bad performances at home against the Twins/Royals, the awful start, etc.

 

We still have a shot to come back from that though, but we can't give up games like this.

We might have the worst hitting bench in the history of the AL.

Do you know who our manager is?

Well he advanced him anyways.

all right - time to tie it up

That worked about as well as the bunt, but the bunt made sure Lillibridge never had a chance to run.

How the hell did they not go to 2nd? It seemed he still had time.
