    I don’t think Espada is dumb enough to have the 5 hitter bunting in that situation.

    He did put the guy in the 5-hole in the first place?

    So it begs the question, why did Joe give Framber the extra long rest, vs what any sane person would have thought Hunter needed the extra rest after the break?

    But I digress.

    Do you think they are giving Altuve the sign every time he tries bunting for a hit?

    We have been over this many times. They wanted to pitch the lefties against Arizona. And look what happened…

    Did I say anything about Altuve? Do you think Chas gets the same freedom Altuve does? No way. Chas was told to bunt. Chas is our best bunter this year, and it was still a bad call with 2 outs.

    Meh...he has the green light to get on base for (looks at lineup) Dubon

    Again, if he nailed that bunt, it's an RBI and 2 runners on

    Whatever man lol I would bet significantly money Chas tried that on his own. And if he had gotten it down for a hit you’d be sucking him off

    It was a **** call. You don’t bunt in that situation.

    Should've kept Cam in the 4-hole Joe. He's been bad since being moved up to lead off.

    Do we really have a good healthy leadoff hitter outside of altuve?
