    Even worse the guy had been wild as **** and he bunted a ball a foot outside the zone

    If he puts down a decent bunt it's 1B/2B with a run scored.

    Alas, the bunt left things lacking.

    Lol, it wasn’t even a bad bunt

    It’s a low percentage hit and better for a sacrifice, which it would’ve been if there was only 1 out instead of 2.

    Imagine how many runs we would score if everyone could put down a perfect bunt on command

    If you're bunting for a hit it was a bad bunt. But the idea was not all that terrible.

    Maybe he forgot how many outs there were...again?

    Again, how are you sitting Trammell and Caratini?

    You're simply not trying to win games at this point.

    Trammell needs to be the everyday center fielder moving forward.

    Being swept by one of the worst teams in baseball on your home field with your ace on the mound would be extremely embarrassing.

    That’s what I’m saying. It’s not easy to bunt for a hit. It was a stupid idea.

    Lol. You know the bunt was probably Joe’s call right?

    Hummel allows an extra 90'

    Zero business throwing to 3rd

    A’s have the worst ERA in the AL at 5.18. Second worst in MLB. Astros have scored 5 runs in 21 innings in this horrible series.

    Barely escaped more damage there. Hunter still not the same.
