I've seen enough of Robin Ventura. He seemingly makes at least one of these WTF decisions every single game.

 

edit: I don't care if Dunn PH later, PK should NEVER face a tough RHP, NEVER.

We know, you say it daily.

We're totally getting walked off

All 4 of Gillaspie's HRs have come in the last 10 days

Is Ventura trying to send a message to Hahn that his options at the bottom of the line-up SUCK?

 

Garcia and Flowers don't belong on a major league roster. Sierra's MEHH for a fourth OF, but you can live with him.

 

He should probably be man enough to a) resign or b) be big boy about it and arrange a meeting with his boss rather than this passive aggressive bulls***. I'm sorry, Terry Bevington is the last Sox manager I can remember that was this bad.

Luery in RF

PK has an OPS of 465 against RHP, why in the f*** did he bat for himself? I don't care who the f*** you PH for him, you f***ing PH for him.

 

IMO he was trying to save the PH's for the bottom of the line up but that could of been too late. Who knows though

Should have been De Aza then you put Conor at 3B and De Aza in LF and Viciedo in RF... But Robin doesn't think that much

 

 

Completely forgot about DeAza there as well.

Remember, the Sox are 10-44 when the opposition scores the 4th run.

 

Not the day to do that.

We know, you say it daily.

 

I call it like I see it. I stuck to my guns that last night's decision to pull sale was the right one. I don't hate robin to hate, I hate him because he does dumb f***ing s*** like lat PK bat for himself in the bottom of the 9th in a 2 run game against a tough RHP.

Completely forgot about DeAza there as well.

 

Way better option then Flowers and Garcia

If only we had a real option at catcher.

Do your job, Surkamp. Nice job, Webb

AJP sitting patiently by his phone

PK to bat with Dunn, De Aza and Conor on the bench against a RHP is inexcusable to me, Ventura is amateur hour.

I have a feeling RV is going to lose us this game by allowing his pitchers to give up hits/homers.

Belisario. You guys ready to name other pitchers from the bullpen that could have been put in instead?

Let's see. Guerra and Petricka pitched yesterday. Surkamp and Webb were used already. I'd save Rienzo for potential extras. So the answer is Putnam.

Ventura with his Tony LaRussa bullpen approach this inning. Working so far.

 

But bringing in cold pitchers who aren't in rhythm always has a way of backfiring.

White Sox a sizzling 4/33 before that inning against Uehara.

 

Konerko 2/6, Dunn and Alexei Ramirez have hits and that's it.

DeAza 0/3 with 2 K's.

 

Still not getting no Dunn appearance there, unless his wrist/hand is hurting again.

I am good with Bellisario

Dunn was on deck then called back after Conor's HR.

Hey Beckham, how about you make yourself useful this inning.

Well, that's a pleasant surprise.

 

Extras.

 

Belisario gets Napoli, Putnam and Rienzo are in the pen. When's the last time Rienzo pitched? Seems like a month ago.

I forgot we had Rienzo.

Then you lose your DH, and if the game goes extra innings and a pitcher has to hit, you would slam him for that.

Wait what? How would we lose our DH when Konerko is the DH and hit in the inning?
