Game 25, Thread 4: Buncha Bunts from a Couple of...

Le sigh.  We go on to the bottom of the 12th.  Questionable substitutions?  Check.  Poorly executed bunts?  Check.  Not losing a game we have every reason to lose?  So far, check.

My money's on Richar, even though he's batting .213 in AAA

Can play a variety of infield spots, has been there before. I’d say Valaika, but he’s batting .171, and over those two I’d say Sutton if he wasn’t hurt, since he’s already on the 40-man.

If they go with an OF, it’ll be Bankston or Gomes probably, but Stubbs has been raking.

The problem is, there's not too much there as far as infielders go

There’s Sutton, who’s hurt, and Francisco, who’s struggling in AA. I forgot about Wilkin though, I could see it being him.

Apparently Lincoln moved his head right at the last second

That was what I expected, not Janish's BA after 14 AB's or something

Still, why anyone thinks him hitting his .220 through .240 is going to win so many games is baffling. Not a lot of games won from the 8 spot.

It's true.

Although, your team did well by drafting a guy named Lyle and one of the Wildboyz.

I was trying to watch this game on a DVR delay.

So, give me that Ripa! I’ll have some sweet sweet dreams.

I want to take a moment and thank Dusty Baker for his consistent use of the sacrifice...which yielded nothing but a lot of free outs for the Fish

Otherwise it was a pretty fun, albeit frustrating game…we’ll get’m tomorrow

I do wish that Dusty had brought Micah in to PH but maybe he thought if the game went long enough he might have had to use Owings as a pitcher for several innings.

Thanks, Jim Day:

“If you hold the other team to 3 runs in 14 innings, your defense is doing its job.”

Unfortunately, Jim, that also means that your offense is not doing its job.
