10/5 vs. Angels: ALDS Game 3

[CrespoBlows]

I would bunt with Bay, right here.

[Dojji]

Yeah' date=' we should bunt.[/quote']

 

Wouldn't have been insane. A good bunt by the slumping Pedroia would have moved Ellsbury to third with a chance to bring him home on an out.

Heck yes. They're playing back. No one would expect it! :thumbsup:

 

Element of surprise baby!

Dude, he hit .325, you don't bunt with him.

[MANNYHOF24]

I have never seen so many walks to the mound in one game.

Another Off-topic post: Has anyone seen Vladimir Guerrero and Booker T of WWE fame in the same place at the same time? If pulled off a Spinarooni in right field, I would be less than shocked.

Yeah, that's insane.

 

You don't give up a .325 hitter.

He's slumping right now, sometimes you do bunt to beat a slump Besides, Peddy's a decent bunter and he might even reach.

[BoSox21]

great ballgame so far

[Gom]

Ok, I gotta run. Hopefully there is a game 4.

[TheKilo]

Awesome AB by Bay.

No, that's really stupid.

What CB said

[soxfan17881]

I was thinking that we should pinch hit for Lowell...

[MANNYHOF24]

Lowell goes monster.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

No' date=' that's really stupid.[/quote']

 

What about the times when Ortiz bunts because of the shift? Same prinicple, really...

[Dojji]

Bunting is not insane if the result is tying run at third, 1 out, Papi up. I'd rather have Ellsbury steal, but bunting in a RISP, 0 out situation is not ridiculous.

 

But whatever. Not worth arguing about.

When was the last time he did that? 2005?

 

So yes - stupid.

[CrespoBlows]

If you want to bunt with Varitek, that's cool, but I'm not letting an MVP candidate bunt with a guy on 2nd and no outs. There's a good chance that he hits the ball to the right side anyway.

In the 5th inning? With a .325 hitter?

I've always thought the same thing. For years.

No, it's not.

 

Ortiz is bunting for a hit, with no fielder within a mile of him. Pedroia is bunting to give himself up.

 

Bad, bad idea.

[MANNYHOF24]

When was the last time he did that? 2005?

 

So yes - stupid.

 

More so when did anyone ever think that was a good idea.

[Dojji]

In the 5th inning? With a .325 hitter?

 

Sure, if that .325 hitter is 0 for his last 10. THere's pros and cons to it.

[Thumper]

Ehhhh that strike three looked JUST on the line.

[MANNYHOF24]

Beckett never got the pitch.

[Dojji]

That was a good 4 inches outside.

[BoSox21]

no f***ing way that caught the corner

[TheKilo]

lol corpse

[CrespoBlows]

More so when did anyone ever think that was a good idea.

 

I thought it was worth a try, until I realized he couldn't do it.
