Re: Reds vs. Braves Thursday 5/24

2 outs on 3 pitches, and Frazier swings at the first pitch. Nice. Meso hacking away.

Re: Reds vs. Braves Thursday 5/24

Funny how things go. If you say you should ask Bruce to bunt in a certain situation people would say you were crazy. Now it's a good idea.

It's always about context, though, isn't it? Sometimes it is crazy. When you're 1 for 27, it's a good idea.

That looked like strike 3. Both pitchers are getting squeezed.

True enough it is about context. But if the Reds trail by 2 or 3 late and they have the shift on why wouldn't a slugger bunt to get on? You need baserunners. Even if Bruce was hot. Take the bunt in that situation. But people wouldn't agree.

If nobody's on base? Sure. If runners are on base, I think you take your chances when Bruce is going well.

Once again you can fast forward to inning number six and not miss a thing in a Reds' game. LOL.

How many times did anyone see Adam Dunn bunt? I cannot ever recall him attempting one.

Prado is the luckiest hitter I've ever seen. Two hits, not hit hard at all
