7/12 - Giants (Corriea) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, CSN TV

Kosuke with a bunt, I like it!

 

I know bunting is considered antiquated in this day and age, but I love when a guy can just drop one down out of nowhere and leg it out.

 

I assume Castillo was hanging back, and Fuku has pretty good technique when dropping those down, so I don't mind it. Keeps 'em thinking. Next time, dump one over his head when he plays up :)

[erik316wttn]

Why no tag on that?

 

Riot messed up and was too far to third and had to retreat when the ball was caught.

Bunting for a hit isn't bad, if its something unexpected, and can get a hit, its fine.

 

 

In this case Fuku had it go up, not down, and Castillas dove but missed.

[SouthSideRyan]

Theriot did a nice job getting to 2nd on Kosuke's bunt, but he's gotta be at 3rd on that fly out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez lined out to center field

[haubrich91]

Hah, Len thought that was dropping.

[UMFan83]

Dammit...we are pounding the ball against him. We will eventually score some runs.

[rocket]

wtf

Hah, Len thought that was dropping.

 

 

I did too.

[erik316wttn]

Damn you, Aaron Rowand.

[kujay]

Pat called it a basehit and then backtracked too.

[Soul]

Man, gameday showed that one was a meatball down the middle of the plate. Correia just got lucky.

[weis21]

Damn, he scorched that one! ugh

[SouthSideRyan]

Theriot did a nice job getting to 2nd on Kosuke's bunt, but he's gotta be at 3rd on that fly out.

 

And then he reads Ramirez's line drive well and doesn't get doubled off.

[UMFan83]

Soto gets into a crapload of 0-2 counts.

[erik316wttn]

Soto K's. Again.

[haubrich91]

Man, Geo has had an awful series at the plate so far.

[E.J.]

Soto needs a day off.

[UMFan83]

We will get 4-5 runs off this guy eventually.

 

When our players slump, they strike out a ton. Soto, Fukudome, Edmonds.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Soul]

That's wasn't good from our 3,4,5 hitters. Table set and everything.

[erik316wttn]

Soto needs a day off.

 

Hopefully tomorrow so he can come back nice and fresh after the break.
