I don't ever want to see a player attempt a bunt on a 2-0 pitch with 2 outs and the pitcher on 1B, again. That's playing into the dumb baseball theory, Jerry Jr.

i don't know what's worse, the coaches calling for that bunt, or Hairston doing it on his own.

I think it's more of the coaches calling it than Jerry, but that's my opinion.

i don't know. it took him 80+ games to put decent OBP guys 1 and 2 in the order. anything is possible with Dusty.

We can't get anything going.
