Don't look now, Re: Bunting....

[Philly Dawg]

We apparently tried to bunt with no outs and a man on second. A successful bunt would advance the runner and allow him to score on infield hits, passed balls, or wild pitches, but that doesn't seem like much to trade an out for, especially when a lot of other outs, such as fly balls and ground outs to the right side, would give you the same thing.

If anyone was watching or listening, was this a straight bunt or were we trying to bunt for a single?

Can you all hold your bitchfest for loss, at least?

Straight bunt. Dumb as hell. 17ed it up like so many of our other wasted efforts.

Although you are beating the 17 out of this dead horse, I will respond. It was a straight sacrifice bunt and Henderson popped it up. At first I disagreed with the call, and still kinda do....but I see why Cohen did it. He had Pirtle, Hann, and Amaratti after Henderson so he was trying to scratch out at least 1 run at the bottom of the order. Still don't know if it was a good call, but we scored the run so who cares.
