That was a great play by Beckham.

A s***ty shift ruins what would have been an easy DP

Trade that man!

Luckily, Beckham had an extra step and a half because he was covering the bag.

 

Or this game would really be over.

Nice play GB

The runner was going on the pitch...if he (Beckham) wasn't covering the bag, it would have been 1st and 3rd, no outs.

 

(I'm sure Hawk just gave Gordon a shout-out for the Gold Glove Award, even though he has no prayer of winning it).

Beckham!!

Excellent decision to walk Davis. He'd have beaten us again. See what happens with the next hitter.

Wait....Walking a .225 hitter to get to the league leading home run hitter and RBI guy?

Walking the struggling Davis to get to their RBI man??

I will not second guess after this base hit. I will not.

We could pull a Whitey Herzog and inexplicably walk Cruz as well.

Hey RV, it's not illegal to have a righty pitch to a lefty. Especially when the guy you plan on pitching to just hit a grand slam.

If Alexei was playing more towards the bag he would have had it and been able to step on the bag in time possibly. I didn't realize he was stealing when I posted that though

I think he's saying Alexei could have had it on the bag? Don't know.

He was struggling the other night as well when he walked us off.

Ventura just spared SoxTalk about 5-7 pages with that miracle result.

Kudos to Ventura, he got it right

Wow they got out of it

phew

I despise Robin as manager as much as the next fan, but please remember this decision in the future. He gets no credits for ones that work like all managers.

Leury getting his arm warmed up?

You are a gracious fan. You deserve credit.

I'm pretty sure it was a hit and run instead of a straight steal, but I'd have to watch the highlight.

 

Showalter would know, obviously.

Possibly. I think the count was 3-2 though.

 

I was just saying, usually when you have a guy on first and looking for a DP both your 2B and SS will be playing closer to the bag and I felt like Alexei was playing more towards the hole. I could be completely wrong though. I posted my gut reaction before seeing the replay or anything
