    Alexander. Easy win. Bunt the guy over and let's go home.

    Good job Osuna. So sac bunt and hopefully someone hits it into the outfield deep enough for Tucker to tag up? Or let Altuve try for the game winning hit?

    So, anybody want Altuve to bunt him over?

    Bregman will then get walked

    Then Brantley-Yuli-Correa with a chance to get a sac-fly or hit (or double play!)

    Or just let Jose hit? Bregman hit?

    Watched the 10th and 11th of Brewers/Pirates last night...MLB players do not know how to bunt anymore. I saw 2 batters make totally pathetic attempts.

    If you've got a good NL pitcher who can handle the bat, PH him and let him sac the runner over.

    I'm not an expert at baseball...

    but with Tuve's speed why not bunt there to get Tucker over so that a deep fly wins the game?

    In this situation, you essentially take the bat out of your #2 and #3 hitters... and then Brantley is a GIDP threat.
