Just have to actually know HOW to bunt 

[Papa Cub]

Amaya horsefeathers that sequence up better than anyone 

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a waste of an AB. What the horsefeathers are you swinging at that for?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Terrible at bat.  Took a perfect pitch to bunt for strike 1, then a half-assed attempt for strike 2.

[chibears55]

Amaya terrible game with bat tonight

He’s a catcher, our bullpen is made of Swiss cheese, it’s the 6th inning, and the wind is blowing straight out on a 95 degree night.

Never seen Shota give up so many non HR hits

I was thinking the same.  A lot of singles.  Clearly, Shota didn't have it tonight.  If it was Kelly catching, he probably gave up 4 or 5 runs.😁

They obviously had him bunting. You think the coaching staff let him make that decision? 

[chibears55]

Letting this pitcher off the hook now

[JHBulls]

I’ve never seen a pitcher walk off the mound with as much swag as Rodriguez.

I’m not arguing your point - with Amaya obviously, but bunting in that situation I think is effective. Just have to be able to lay one down lol

I’m saying it was a bad decision by the coaching staff to call the bunt 

[Andy]

Boy I'm so glad we had Amaya piss away his AB bunting so we could get our big bopper Dansby up in a RBI spot

And, Miggy is actually one of the better hitters with RISP.  A bad decision.

[Geographyhater8888]

Dansby is as dependable as ever in these contact situations.

Most times id agree but how much faith do you have in Swanson getting that run home from 3rd with 1 out
