Kind of questionable pinch running and bunting to put the key at-bat in the hands of a Mendoza Man like Byrd.

 

All he had to do was make contact. That's it. Just contact.

 

They should have just let Shoppach hit for Byrd.

Woe Byrd could not even plunk the ball into the outfield there. Gotta' at least put the ball in play. Then Miks comes up and tries to kill the thing when any kind of a base hit would have done just fine.

 

He does that so much. I know a dinger would have really been a big deal there but ya' gotta' get the game tied and let somebody else have the shot at the HR in that spot.

Why isn't Nava playing tonight? He's a switch hitter and much better than Dmac or Byrd brain.

 

He should have PH'd for Byrd, who sucks

This game is nearly over now.

No scoring in the 8th and we lose.

Why the hell didn't BV put him in there for Byrd? Strange under the circumstances.

I think not allowing Byrd to bat there might have been more honesty than the Sox could deal with at this point. All he had to do was get the ball to the outfield which is why you have Pods on second. Even ground to the right side might do it.

 

If you pinch hit for guy that only has to make contact to score you a run it begs the question, what the hell is the guy is doing here...a question many have asked about Byrd almost since he got here.

 

I still would have pinch hit for Byrd there. I have no confidence in him.

Not to be a downer' date=' but does anyone have confidence in Pedroia or Youk this inning??[/quote']When Pedroia hits, we win. He's a little off his game since he came back. He can go on a tear at any time.

I think you have to pinch hit for Byrd there. There are 2 runs in scoring position. It's the game on the line.
