Don't wanna become a schtick guy, but Saladino is the best bunter on the team...

Terrible...the lost art of sacrifice bunting, hard to do against a fastball pitcher.

 

And Rollins was 5 for 9 against LHP this year.

 

Oh, well.

Saladino should be the starting shortstop beginning tomorrow.

Should have let him hit

 

Especially with 2 strikes. That was the dumbest thing they have done all year.

Time for Abreu to come through here

Bunting is mostly going away because bunting is generally pretty dumb.

Please no DP.

Unless you're a pitcher at the plate, you should pretty much never bunt.

The current starting shortstop seems to have inherited his predecessor's prowess, or lack thereof, as it pertains to sacrifice bunting.

I am so done with Rollins. The guy is toast.

Expect low and away

Hard to hit when that first pitch is a strike.

Rollins is killing this lineup in the 2 hole

White Sox could not have tried any harder to help the Rangers escape this inning.

Evan Grant

 

 

Tigers lose in the bottom of the 9th at Washington, now 3 games under .500 and absolutely reeling.

Agreed 900%.

 

Maybe if you're trying to win in the bottom of the ninth and you have a runner on. I dunno, even then a single gets runners moving.

WTF are you f***ING KIDDING ME ROLLINS?

Hanger and he misses it

Well, bunting is not generally pretty dumb. It can actually be extremely effective, when executed well. It's just that generally most situations don't call for players to bunt. When you are talking about the White Sox, yes bunting is generally pretty dumb because most of them can't really bunt.

I didn't see it to begin with. Their pitching sucks and they're declining vets are just that. That team just isn't very good.

Bunting is giving away outs. You should never give away outs.

Newp....he's not

Last year, this would be an IBB with LaRoche on deck

Crap.

Missed another hanger

Sigh...at least Todd has a shot
