Then someone needs to create a sign for 'DO NOT BUNT' because its just a poor idea with someone swinging the bat so well.Originally Posted by Puffy

Corky
The power of the stache.
Hochevar might retire after giving up a RBI single to Miller.
3-0 Reds
Corky had to get a hit at some point, right?
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Anyone else think it looked like Cabrera hurt himself taking a pitch there?
Bottom 2nd: Cincinnati
- J. Bruce doubled to deep center
- D. Stubbs singled to shallow center, J. Bruce scored, D. Stubbs to second advancing on throw
- C. Miller singled to right center, D. Stubbs scored
- B. Arroyo grounded into fielder's choice, C. Miller out at second
- O. Cabrera popped out to right center
- B. Phillips lined out to right
3-0 Reds
Yes, he was flexing his foot afterwards.
Let's go Reds.
But why? If he gets it to the third base line its a hit. If he doesn't he makes pitcher field ball and he gets Cabrera to 2nd with Votto and Rolen up next.
Not to mention the pink elephant in room. Hochevar threw complete game 3 hit, 1 run, 79 pitch game against team last year. I'm sure they expect tough low scoring game. I am not for bunting 2nd place hitters, but in this instance it was smart play by Phillips.

He was obviously bunting for a base hit, not a sacrifice.
Something every hitter should do once in a while to keep the defense honest.
