Valdez up. Dusty bunts him and he loops one to third for the out.

The bunting is killing this Reds team.

Anything that involves a bat is a big struggle right now.

Dusty is bunting this team into oblivion.

No reason for that bunt. Cozart on deck then the Votto IBB.

Let them hit, Dusty.

Zimmerman made a great play though.... that was inches away from having two base runners on....

Agree. It almost worked.

What kind of backlash will there be with Valdez grounds into a double play, erasing the runner at first?

Something tells me it won't be pretty...

Hit for Cozart, two on for Votto.

Again, I didn't say he should NEVER bunt. Stubbs is fast, Valdez is fast, have them hit and run or something.

Dusty gives up too many hitters to bunts, such as Phillips earlier in the game.
