Farrell: Sox must 'trust everyone in lineup'
Why did Farrell choose the bunt option instead of letting the hot Holt swing away and continue the rally?
“Knowing that our top-of-the-lineup is coming up in the ninth inning, just trying to cut the deficit by one or possibly by two with a base hit,” Farrell said. “We’ve got to trust everyone in the lineup. Despite Brock having good at-bats tonight, we felt that’s what the situation called for. didn’t want to turn a three-run deficit over to Janssen. Any way we could to try to chip away and cut into some runs, they’ve been a premium to come by and we’re looking for anything we can to scratch out a run.”
