I agree. Even if Dickerson gets the bunt down successfully, Taveras wouldn't get the run in and you got Hairston up with 2 out. Frankly, Taveras is an offensive wet blanket, especially at the top.Originally Posted by Tony Cloninger

To me, by not bunting you are saying you give Dickerson a better chance of getting a hit than Taveras getting a hit, getting a sac fly, or getting a bunt base hit.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Coffey hasn't come close to pitching as well as Burton did the past 2 seasons.
Braun strikes out swinging. 3-2 Brewers after 8.
Good inning by Rhodes. On to the 9th.
With the exception of Hanigan and one Hernandez swing the offense has been dog-awful tonight. Just terrible. They got drunk on horrible Houston pitching and ran into a strike-throwing buzzkill tonight.

Hoffman coming in to pitch.
Hairston, Hanigan and Hernandez due up
yep.
Who cares about the past? My point is--everyone thought Burton was the heir apparent to the closer's role while Coffey was junk. Nope. Wrong again (myself included). Tough game to figure out.

Another two run homer by Hanigan or hernandez would be nice
Phillips is pinch hitting
A lot of H's right there.

Hairston flies out to center. 1 out.
Phillips hitting for Hanigan
If Phillips is able to hit, why in the world would you allow Chris Dickerson to hit if your choice is to swing away? I understand it's righty/righty but Phillips has been on fire.

Signing of the offseason: Hoffman. Unhittable at age 400.
