It's just bad baseball.3-1 count with 2 on in the 4 hole and we are giving them an out. Don't understand.
It's just bad baseball.
It's horrible optics of having a 4-hitter who you feel HAS to bunt to score a run. They squared Pitre around, what, twice yesterday? I watch a ton of baseball and you just never see this. Ever.
I dont mind running with a full count there with Gilliam. Its a 3-2 count, the only time it's a problem is on a K. Otherwise he is in motion to score on a double. Thats showing confidence in your hitter not striking put as opposed to bunting your 4 hole hitter, smashing confidence.
Ok, so I think I have some insight on these Pitre bunts... I dont think Mingione is calling them. Pitre squared right there with bases loaded and Mingione yelled at him to hit the ball. So, I think these may be Pitre making the call himself. I don't think Ming is calling them.
He probably wasn't wanting a bunt there with two outs, but he squared around several times that first at-bat. If Mingione didn't want a bunt, he had a chance to tell him to swing away.Ok, so I think I have some insight on these Pitre bunts... I dont think Mingione is calling them.
