No telling the bunt wouldn't have worked also. But don't compare a veteran like Raburn with a "rookie" like Chisenhall.Footwedge;1479214 wrote:Hits..where you at? Should have sacrificed right there.
I have no idea what the point is here that you are attempting to make. Are you saying a rookie should bunt but a veteran should swing away? LMAOLaley23;1479219 wrote: But don't compare a veteran like Raburn with a "rookie" like Chisenhall.
The argument made last time was that the bunt was/was not the right play based on who was batting, not because of percentages and stats. In that case, it was the same thing with Chisenhall up. I don't trust Chiz to not fuck up, so the bunt was the right move to me. I do trust Raburn to at least move the runners along, so swinging away was the right move.Footwedge;1479247 wrote:I have no idea what the point is here that you are attempting to make.

Reps to you both, and you gotta' feel bad for Kluber...again!!!Dr. KnOiTaLL;1479210 wrote:That's why he should play every day and Mark Reynolds should wear out the butt of his pants riding the pine.
You could have, but probably the right call was made not only given the outcome, but the circumstances. A Raburn sacrifice would have brought up Brantley who would have been walked and now you are to the bottom of the order (8and 9 hitters) to deliver the win. ...ugh.Hits..where you at? Should have sacrificed right there.
I would have bunted also.royal_k;1479209 wrote:lol...**** the bunt!
Good call Tito!
Exactly what Tito said postgame, so imo, good decisionTBone14;1479289 wrote: The only way I could be persuaded...is that bunting takes the bat out of Brantley's hands because they would walk him and the Aviles and Stubbs are due up.
I believe the "slap it" was on the third pitch, but Raburn said in his post game interview that the pitch was past him before he could even try. And then the pitch came that made it all moot.royal_k;1479303 wrote:The bunt was on. But after seeing Texas put the wheel play on they changed it up. He was actually supposed to slap it, but got a great pitch to hit.
