I will say this, the team does seem to be bunting runners over more effectively then last year, all that time spent working on bunting drills seems to have paid off.

 

(PS: I'm only being semi-sarcastic here.)

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! A sacrifice from our #3 hitter. Dusty is a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Let's face it he's not a 3 hitter but we don't have one and you need to get runs anyway you can. Espically with the wind blowing in.

 

Someone give this man the link to the study that mathematically proved bunting a runner from first to second lowers your chance of scoring a run.

y would you sac when the other team has already scored 2 runs in 3 innings? I hate the sac bunt and really hate it when the manager doesnt know how to use it.

 

Because if you haven't noticed we haven't been exactly scoring runs lately, so dusty has to try to get runs anyway you can. I have no problem with that play.

 

That's because...

 

 

forget it, I don't need another suspension.

They haven't been scoring runs partly because Dusty makes it harder to score by giving up runs. They've been pulling this crap throughout the whole slump, it's not going to make things different.

Let's face it sac bunting is the dumbest move ever, unless it's the end of a game.

 

If you let Cedeno hit, and he gets a hit, Perez goes to 3rd and scores on Aram's fly ball (you can get a run on an out or a hit)

 

If you sacrfice, you HAVE to get a hit.

 

Saccing is STUPID.

 

Yeah but no matter what you need to get a hit. Either from Cedeno or ARAm.

Oh c'mon! You are blaming Dusty for the Cubs not scoring runs? I'm not the biggest Baker fan, but c'mon! We can't score runs because our guys can't get a hit when it counts.

I blame Hendry for that. He should be signing guys who are clutch hitters.

Brenly: "I don't think the Padres will bunt with their 3 hitter, Giles"

 

Did he? That's fantastic.

 

Well Giles is a 3 hitter and Cedeno isn't. Big differnce there.

That is pretty funny stuff. I don't think it will happen, but I'd still like to see Brenly take over for Dusty.
