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

 

 

Here we go.

 

 

1 for his last 30. Only one sacrifice, and only 8 on the season for the entire team.

 

 

Bunted it right at Miller, but got the job done. Off the lip, where the grass meets the dirt.

 

Walking Abreu to face Viciedo. No brainer.

 

 

Would they Red Sox have walked Abreu even with Eaton on 1st? BTW, it would also be quite helpful if Eaton had the ability to steal a base in these situations...

stop making excuses Hawk

Stupid bunt. Just took the bat out of our best hitter's hands.

Why was he bunting?!?! Now they are going to walk Abreu..

f***ing stupid.. Take the bat out of the hands of our best hitter..

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

If you used De Aza and put him in the OF.

How does that take away our DH if De Aza is PH for Flowers or Garcia??

Red Sox announcers now questioning why Ventura had to be forced by Ramirez to make that appeal in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Walk Ramirez to face Konerko?

 

Interesting, whichever way they go.

 

Konerko 0 for 4, 3 's but it works out for the Red Sox anyway.

 

 

 

Sigh. Wonder if that will end up being our best chance to win this game??

Wow Tank you killed that one

Glad we decided not to let Abreu hit there. Thanks Robin

I thought they wanted DeAza to hit for Konerko.

One of my biggest pet peeves is what happened that inning. I hate the bunt when it takes the bat out of your best hitter's hands.

Everyone wanted Dunn to hit for Konerko..

 

I wanted De Aza to hit for Garcia mainly.

Even Stone brought it up right before he decided to bunt.. So dumb

2 baby hits to the pitcher how sad.

Despite Viciedo's recent power surge, there's no way ANY manager in baseball will pitch to Abreu there.

 

Predictable outcome.

 

Either you have confidence in Eaton to steal the bag or you let Beckham hit away...and/or you have Beckham bunt him over to 3rd. Either way, they're probably going to work around Abreu in all likelihood, even with Eaton or Beckham still at 1B.

You want to have the potential winning run at 2nd with 1 out. Nothing wrong with that. Didn't work out. Yeah, that's Robin's fault.

Wow ump..

This ump f***ing sucks

Dreaded leadoff walk.

 

Gee. Harrelson's thrilled I'm sure. Red Sox still only have two hits to ten for the White Sox.

For the first time ever, a ChiSox reliever walked the leadoff hitter in an inning.

Really?? You never know what Beckham will do there. Maybe he walks, or gets a hit.. Either way, You don't take the bat out of the hands of Abreu who gets a lot of XBH.

 

I disagree with you 110%

Abreu has 20 walks and 8 of them were intentional

Of course, when the Red Sox have an inexperienced rookie, he can manage to bunt successfully in that sitatu

To be fair, it had all of the plate.....
