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?Ironman92;1467733 wrote:^^^ kinda redundant

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.Ironman92;1467744 wrote:I hate Dusty's managing too.

And his #2 skill is way, way behind the #1!Azubuike24;1467735 wrote:Then he looked like you or I on an 0-2 fastball. Might as well tried to bunt again. I just hate the idea of simply not even trying it. It's not like a great RBI man was up. Robinson's 2 best skills are probably bunting and running...yet doesn't even attempt it.

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.Ironman92;1467744 wrote:I hate Dusty's managing too.
