Bruce with the worst bunt in the history of the world.

That had to be Bruce on his own.

If so, the kid has poor judgment. If not, Dusty has the same.

Bunt not a terrible play there. Affeldt tough on lefties.

Execution was pretty terrible, though.

I don't know. Up by 4 with no outs. Why do you give up an out to a kid who might drive one. It's not like moving a runner over means anything with this club and who was coming up next.

Stubbs has been pretty good with men on base. Not a bad idea to get the man over to third for Stubbs.

I'd feel differently with a righty pitcher. Tough lefty against Bruce, not terrible to bunt.

But I'm wrong because it didn't work. Didn't come close to working.

Judgment call, i guess. Wonder how many times Bruce has been asked to bunt in his career? Not many, I'd guess.

With a 4 run lead....I'd rather see Bruce get a full at bat against a quality lefty.


Decent start by Harang tonight....but threw a TON of balls. Hopefully it's a good momentum builder for him, especially after getting out of a tight jam in the 7th.

Agree, Bruce didn't look like a polished bunter.

One out for DRH. Let's get through this inning, Danny.

Short leach for DRH. You have to wonder why he's on the roster if they have no more faith in him than that.

I want to officially say that I was wrong about Harang, and glad I was. He's not back to the Harang of old, but he's been a solid inning eater since his first few outings. I thought he was done as a starter.

Notice how Dusty suddenly has confidence in Logan Ondrusek. I think he now prefers Logan to Del Rosario.

Logan needs to come through here and get these two outs. Big spot for him.
