Abreu 2 bad plays in a row.................tell me how great he is Hawk

Yeah he's the type of guy you replace in late innings for defense.

If Murphy gets a hit here, we lose. Keep it tied there's always a chance.

Big time choke by White Sox.

At the game, what happened? Ump called something I assumed out of the baseline. Did he call interference on Beckham wtf???

The Angels announcers are speculating he called interference on Ramirez for running into the runner, even though it is clear Ramirez did not touch him.

Dammit Abreu, you have to come home there.

 

Interference on Alexei Ramirez?

 

Abreu thought the possible double play would wipe out the run? Had to come home, never looked at the runner on third.

Well, it would've...

Hawk was so close to cursing

That's why I still love him as an announcer. No cookie cutter broadcaster reaction. Real time, real fan reaction. Much prefer that, any day of the week.

Correct play was Abreu to go 3-6-3 on that. He should know that Conor is slow as hell.

At the game, what happened? Ump called something I assumed out of the baseline. Did he call interference on Beckham wtf???

The interference was a make up call. It was horrible.

This team has DeJesus, Murphy, and Victorino all sharing one outfield spot... wtf?

Thompson walk off coming up

Trayce might as well walk this off

Yeah he's the type of guy you replace in late innings for defense.

LaDunn like him or not won a gold glove at 1st.

White Sox just don't have enough "baseball smarts" to win these types of games.

 

Meanwhile, the Cubs have won 24 one-run games this year.

Fundamental mistakes are 100% fault of the coaching staff game after game Hawk.

 

HuH???? 100%. So the player has zero fault...........

 

Well, it would've...

Not how Abreu did it no. He was well home before any potential tag.

How is that interference lol

 

I don't see how it was either. Alexei got out of the way, runners path wasn't altered at all.

Well, it would've...

Not the way he was trying to turn it.

Well, it would've...

No, not once the force play was off by Abreu tagging first. If the runner crosses home before the third out is made in the rundown the run counts.

HuH???? 100%. So the player has zero fault...........

 

That wasn't on Ventura or the coaches. Abreu simply didn't prepare himself for what he would do if ball was hit at him.

Not how Abreu did it no. He was well home before any potential tag.

I know he didn't execute correctly, my point was that a DP would have wiped out the run

The Angels announcers are speculating he called interference on Ramirez for running into the runner, even though it is clear Ramirez did not touch him.

On about the third look, it looks like the runner hit Alexei's glove with his left hand. Still a weak call.

If we had a good team, we'd win it right here. No reason to not sweep this series. Can't believe Abreu pulled such a mental miscue. If you concentrate at all we win the game. Little Leaguers know what to do when the ball is hit to them, but not Abreu there.

HuH???? 100%. So the player has zero fault...........

When it happens game after game it shows staff not working enough with players to know what to do in easy baseball 101 situations.

That wasn't on Ventura or the coaches. Abreu simply didn't prepare himself for what he would do if ball was hit at him.

 

Yup, it's 100% on Jose to be a baseball player there.

When does lack of situational awareness growing up in the Cuban leagues fall onto the coaching staff...because that kind of play just can't happen?

 

You've gotta know what you're supposed to do there...but how many times have they practiced it with Jose?

 

Last year, they tried to keep him off his feet as much as possible.

This isn't on Robertson. He made the pitch, the D just effed it up.

 

A lot of it was on Robertson.

 

The 1-2 pitch he threw was a meatball over the plate.
