I mean, you kind of have to run it that way at this point unless we score six or so. Especially since Davis is up 2nd. No need to waste a PA here since Davis threw so many pitches. And Jay was HBP so definitely can't let him bat, even to bunt.
I agree. You ignoring your game thread duties probably cost us the series. In the 9th on Sunday Joe was thinking, "Well if UMFan doesn't care, then I don't care either. Hey Bos, get Lackey warm."
Yeah, this bothers me less than the Mets series. The Dodgers are a legitimately great team this year. The Mets were a mediocre team that had four good pitchers happen to stay healthy for a year and Daniel Murphy.
If I were manager I’d force everyone to bunt into the shift. Especially rizzo. He gets a more severe shift than most. Opposing teams would be thrilled if our perennial 30 HR 100 RBI player would just drop bunts all game If it works half the time that's a .500/.500/.500/1.000 line.
