Well, it happened to the Chicago White Sox again. This time was just a little more legit than the first.
."It's a really, really hard play, if at all possible, to defense a safety squeeze unless you really sell out, and then you give up a free base. But to get that bunt down was really impressive."
The walk-off bunt was the second of its kind in Major League Baseball this season. Remarkably, the first one was against the White Sox, too. In the 10th inning of a game against the Minnesota Twins last month, Michael Taylor put down a sacrifice bunt at Target Field. Hanser Alberto tried to throw Taylor out at first, but the ball sailed and hit Taylor’s helmet — which allowed pinch-runner Willi Castro to make it home from second base to secure the 4-3 win. While the win technically came on a throwing error, the result is still the same.
Thursday’s loss marked the third in the four-game series for the White Sox. They’ve lost five of their last eight and hold just a 13-26 record — which is 8.5 games back from the AL Central leading Twins.."Disappointed at times with lack of urgency? Absolutely, I am. Absolutely. That starts with me. So we've got to be better. We've got to be better as a staff. We've got to be better as a ballclub.
