Chas McCormick cannot say the Astros didn't give him an opportunity to snap out of his slump this year.
Why the hell wouldn't they attempt a bunt there? Jesus. Espada will pinch hit four batters at the drop of a hat, but he is slow to do basic baseball stuff like this with a struggling lineup.
If Jake would've squeezed a bunt, Gamel's flyball would've scored Pena. This is something Reds and D-Backs are great at, and Mariners lately too.
At the very least you bunt for a hit, about the worst that happens with a guy like Meyers *is* a sac bunt.
Gamel has at least hit the ball hard a lot and can work a walk. Chas is worthless this year. I would rather give Haywerd a shot.
