I'm loving that this game keeps going longer and longer. Burn that Brewer bullpen! They've got 8 more games after this one before they get a day off!

That's twice Cinci's announcer has pointed out that Milwaukee is giving Dunn a free base if he bunts down the third base line. The first time I saw a team play the shift like that, that's what jumped into my mind. It's amazing to me why nobody does it.

 

I'm guessing Dunn's bunting ability might not be good enough for him to consistently get it past the pitcher.

 

I still might give it a shot against a pitcher who I was 0-9 agaisnt lifetime.

 

Potentially, but lefties tend to fall off the mound to the 3B side. Dunn doesn't have very good speed and I'm guessing he bunts rarely as it is. You need a good bunt to get it past the pitcher and in fair territory. The odds of that happening compared to Dunn getting a hold of one or drawing a walk are not very good.

 

 

Very valid point. Touche.

On the topic of the Southsiders, does any pitcher work faster than Mark Buehrle? Seriously, he gets the ball back from the catcher and throws the next pitch within like five seconds.
