    Not a fan of bunting in that situation with 2 outs

    That's what you get for bunting with 2 guys in scoring position and 2 outs already.

    Why would you try and bunt with runners in scoring position and two outs

    i like the idea--i think he could have made it, esp with the surprise. Too bad he didn't execute

    (even if the runner couldn't come home, you'd have bases loaded for Altuve)

    Way to make up for it with defense Jake (much like Everett did).

    Red Sox have gone 1st to 3rd on singles waaaaay too much this series.

    Sox hitters are patient on the plate.

    Well Lance is going to have to start throwing pitches over the plate. Not getting anything on the corners.

    I am so ready for the computer strike zone. Forget the baseball traditionalists, the goal should be to mitigate human error as much as possible in officiating competition.
