I think most are critiquing the decision. That's what I'm doing. I'm not bitching about Sunday, for the most part that was "just baseball." Friday night wasn't. If we had bunted in the 11th and and had nit been able to get it down or we moved the runners and weren't able to get the run in because of a strikeout or a pop up in the infield then that would have been "just baseball." Those things happen, but not attempting to move the runners goes against simple basic baseball strategy.

at worst in PM's mind is the Deichman makes a single out, and the top of your lineup is due up with a man still in scoring position and 1 out.


in the end it even worked out, Hale hits one thru the hole that should have won the game.


Sure, I think he could have bunted too. I don't think it is 1000% bunt though. Ive seen coaches across all levels make similar calls. But i honestly don't think it was driven by ego.
