What happened?

 

Abreu had to tag up because he didn't read it well off the bat?

 

Oh, well, he scored....complaining about Abreu's baserunning is like complaining about Mike Trout's strikeouts.

this

Why is Viciedo pinch-running when Leury Garcia is available?

 

What the heck is going on? Just randomly pushing buttons on a computer in the dugout?

better score two more.

 

not ovah.

And he got lucky letting Jose run for himself. Just bad managing.

LMAO.

Never take out Abreu

Can you imagine if he did and this went extras? oy

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:26 AM)
LOL I was proven right Jose almost f***ed it up. It's obviously the most important run in the game.

 

There's only one out. The rightfielder looked like he deked him. Doesn't matter. He scored.

Agree!

 

Was he towing an anchor there or something though? Lol

Where is old Cubano....would have thought he'd be enjoying this breakout season by Abreu?

Damn, Gillaspie killed that

Beckham should copy Gillaspie's style of hitting. Bad luck there, but great approach.

Because it is the DH position and the replacement is limited to being the DH. Once again Dumb Robin a little brighter than his critics.

So what is the record for not making an out? jose is 10 in a row.

He actually has to make contact with the ball first

Cmon Tyler. Give those fans a thrill!

Ummm....does that mean you CAN'T pinch-run Garcia and then replace him with Viciedo if/when his spot in the order ever came up again????

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:21 PM)
8 homers in 52 innings vs righties, and 0 in 21 vs lefties

.298/.352/.480 vs righties, striking out 27% of them and walking 6%. .273/.330/.414 vs lefties, striking out 23% and walking 5%.

 

2013: .224/.280/.349 vs righties, and .241/.302/.456 vs lefties.

 

2011 (injured 2012): .217/.309/.295 vs righties, and .259/.281/.349 vs lefties.

Chicago White Sox ‏@whitesox 1m

 

.@79JoseAbreu''s 10 straight PA of reaching base safely is the longest by a Sox player since @TheBigHurt_35 Thomas set a club record with 15

 

 

Not sure what the big league record is tho.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:15 PM)
4.54 in AAA with a .302 batting average against isn't doing "well", in my opinion. They had to try and make him a LOOGY, as righties were destroying him.

 

Come on now. The guy was leading the IL in strikeouts when he was called up and had 2.1 BB/9. He was pitching really well.

Can't sub your one defensive sub for the DH when the run doesn't even matter

no s***. what a puzzling move wtf? Dayan Viciedo is a slow ass runner.

But then you would be wasting a player if it goes extra innings. Robin would be dumb for running out of players.

 

Edit

Robin 1

Caulfield 0

Edited by Dick Allen

Again, dumb decision comes very close to costing them. Garcia scores by 5 feet.
