Exactly. And I hate Dusty, but it's applicable in about 90% of Reds' games. From a strategic perspective, you disagree with bunting even on 0-2?

Remember when Reds relievers didn't throw a fastball every pitch? Those were swell times.

I hate Dusty's managing too. With the manager sending him up there to bunt and he failed on 2 opportunities.....I would say screw it and you better find a way to advance him.....if you don't I'll go with someone else next time.

Yep, studs like Cesar Izturis and Jack Hannahan. Your 5th OF who may never hit an over the fence HR in his career isn't bunting...STUPID.

Chooooooo! Walk off.

And his #2 skill is way, way behind the #1!

He did, he went from 1st to 2nd in his AB! The threat of him at bat caused a pitch that the catcher couldn't corral.

I am 14-5 folks.
