vs. Indians 7/22 Zach on HOF Day

[Flash- bd]

I really hate the bunt there. Tomlin does not have ML stuff. You don't give him outs. Buck bunts way too often. My #1 qualm with him.

It is early. Plus with the lead already.

Strange... I don't think Buck bunts enough. When we are playing stinky ball there have been times I wish he had called for a sac bunt.

If either nick or JJ had gotten a hit, we would have most likely had a run score.

Isn't that something.

Little easier when you have increased playing time to find a rhythm.

More reason not to do it. (If you're arguing against it as well my apologies!)

I'm against. Just appreciated the execution by Teagarden.

I prefer American League baseball. Earl Weaver taught me that giving up one of the 27 outs early in the game was not correct. If you play for one run, all you get is one. If that.

[scOtt]

WOW! Flaherty made a play of that.

Lester's line in the RSox game today....4IP 9H 11ER 5W 2SO 4HR allowed

2012 ERA 5.46

Our problem of course has been those darn double plays. And I think Buck is trying to mix things up so that doesn't kill all of our rallies.

94 mph on that last pitch

Yeah, bunting is only really a good strategy in a game where you're trying to put across the winning run/tying run later in the game. Bunting with a man on 1st and no outs should almost never happen, unless it's a pitcher laying down the bunt. ESPECIALLY in the 2nd innning. Especially against an extremely hittable pitcher. Really an absurd move.

One game this week, he started Thome (or hit and run...) from first. Groundball stopped the DP. Extended the inning.

Double play is on the way.

And The Book proves it.
