I don’t like bunting in general. Call me a mad man. I get the purpose from time to time, but I’ll never be a fan of giving up a free out. Even in a situation trying to advance a runner. Just let your dudes swing away.

I am in the minority and love bunting. But that one is a bit of a head scratcher

Also gifts him a short AB right after he gave up a walk. So you keep his pitch count down. Stupid in terms of the analytics and stupid in terms of the context of the situation on multiple levels.

And my inside baseball guy tells me Phillips has given up an insane amount of steals this year. So just steal.

Y’all need to quit being morons and learn baseball. Brown was bunting for a hit and he did it on his on. The runner was stealing, so you know Jay didn’t call a bunt and run. Jake was out by one step. He almost got us a second base runner.

OK, so if the runner was stealing, should not have Brown known that or is he not reading the signs either. So the runner was stealing on his own and then Brown was trying to bunt on his own. Is that your argument? Because if I’m at bat and the runner is stealing, I should know he’s stealing and I’m not gonna try to bunt for a hit if he’s trying to steal the base.
