Yeah, but that’s probably like the third time it’s happened in MLB history.

need another run

[AstrosTwins]

Man, Arraez is almost automatic.

We need at least one more run though. Buxton  and C4 need to come thru here.

[Aggies7]

Why wouldn’t you bunt  there, fully recognizing that buxton is a HR threat.

They score 74 and the home team concedes.

Error charged to umpiring crew chief.

[IndianaTwin]

I tend to be pretty forgiving, but this ump has had a rough night, both ways. 

[Aggies7]

Umpire is terrible tonight 

[AstrosTwins]

That is a HORRIBLE strike call. Damn!

Why would you bunt the best hitter on the team and a top 10 hitter in baseball to raise your chance of scoring by a little over a 10th of a run?

[Doctor Gast]

Now they can bring Duran in

[USAFChief]

Buxton has become a two true outcome hitter. 

[AstrosTwins]

Come on Madd Maxx!!!

Nitpic, but Buxton is not a top 10 hitter in baseball. 

[IndianaTwin]

Sox telecast just showed the Kelly/Correa kerfluffle from a couple years ago, just before showing ball four.

Because he’s 4 for his last 27 with 11 strikeouts and isn’t remotely close to a top ten hitter in baseball nor is he the best hitter on the team. 

[Mill1634]

Kepler with a .628 OPS over the last 24 games. Perhaps he can get off to rough patch right here?

[Nine of twelve]

Do you suppose the two clean-headed men in the front row might be related?

probably a bit exaggerated but certainly not a guy you're SAC bunting for in a 1 run game when the other team starts with a man on 2nd in the bottom half 

[USAFChief]

Who woke LaRussa up?

IT in a text to his ChiSox fan friend: I cannot think of a worse baserunning play. 

Sox fan in response: I’m done. I’m done with them until they fire LaRussa. Play in a horse **** division with all that talent and lose to **** teams because of something like that? That’s pathetic. They should be up at least 2 if not 3 runs right now. Gold Glove center fielder lets two routine fly balls drop for doubles. They pipe a fastball to the only hitter in the lineup that can beat them. Mental mistake after mental mistake. That’s not having your players ready. I just turned it off. 

 

I’m thinking things aren’t too pleasant on ChiSox Daily these days….

Well, I guess my buddy won’t have to worry about LaRussa screwing up anymore tonight!

[Mill1634]

That's the call TLR decides to get ejected on? That wasn't even a top 15 missed call of the night

I was really hoping C4 would have taken his a$$ deep.
