6/23: Marlins at Orioles

You play for 1 run, you get 1 run.

I still cannot fathom the thinking behind that bunt.

Well, you figure with Luke Scott on 2nd and Wieters at the plate, all that speed should help make some magic happen.

Actually he was playing for two.

[BRob51]

Let me be first to say I really like Jake Fox's catching gear.

[RShack]

Not saying it made lotsa sense, but maybe he wanted to avoid Wieters hitting into a DP. A successful bunt gives us 2 guys in scoring position with 1 out, with Moore and Fox coming up, which ain't all that bad. All you need is an OF-single and it's tied up... which is better than a guy on 3rd with 2 outs, down by 2... (just trying to make sense of it, that's all...)

[Frobby]

I know I already posted about this, but Samuel HAS TO STOP CALLING FOR SAC BUNTS WITH 0 OUTS! The ONLY times that make sense are when the game is tied or you are down by 1, and usually only in the 8th or 9th innings.

Ugh. This team needs a manager who understands that giving away outs does not generally lead to scoring lots of runs.

:cussing::cussing::cussing:

I would have had no problem with bunting runners to 2nd and 3rd if you had an experienced bunter at the plate and some good hitters coming up. For example, if CPat had been the batter with Miggy and Markakis coming up, a bunt would have made a lot of sense there.

I'll go one step further: if you are going to bunt in the actual game situation we were in, then pinch hit for Wieters and let Lugo do it.

[nate22]

I know this is nitpicking but why was Moore so far off second taking the throw.

[jtm]

Sorry, this team is making me jumpy

Just jumpy?? I'm ready to check myself into the Betty Ford clinic or the insane asylum. Whichever one would be goodly enough to take me at this point.:002_sdrool:

Maybe they're trying to set the record for losses in a season.

[UMDTerrapins]

Why was Moore off the bag there?

[slappy12]

Tejada let's e perfect fastball go right by him. Pitching coach goes out there tells his pitcher to throw strikes and Tejada takes first pitch!!! WTF, Tejada is just awful also!!

Could've fooled me...

There is no sense of it. Comical.

[UMDTerrapins]

Jake Fox.......catching prowess.

[nate22]

So who's our closer tommorrow?

Simon unless he throws too many pitches, I hope we have that problem.
