Re: 5/28/12 Reds Vs Pirates
Awful bunt attempt. I have watched Stubbs since he started in Dayton and he is a horrible bunter. 1-5 FC.

Re: 5/28/12 Reds Vs Pirates
Why do announcers (and managers) act like getting a bunt down should be a sure thing? Sure, it's a lot easier than getting a hit, but is there anybody who's a lock to get a bunt down? It just seems like people take it for granted and act shocked (and morally outraged) when it doesn't work out.
To be fair though, having 2 runers in scoring position would have been huge with Valdez coming up.....

Re: 5/28/12 Reds Vs Pirates
Why were they bunting down 3 runs in the 3rd inning anyway? And with a sloooow lead runner?

Re: 5/28/12 Reds Vs Pirates
I don't understand having Stubbs bunt there at all. Worst case scenario is he strikes out, because he can beat out a DP. And so that Valdez could hit?

Valdez in the 2 hole is brutal.

"Thunder" Valdez shockingly strikes out.

Our top two hitters are absolutely worthless today.

At least he didn't hit into a double play.

Re: 5/28/12 Reds Vs Pirates
Up to Votto to bail Dusty out from the combination of that bunt attempt and the decision to hit Valdez 2nd.
