I forever am okay with Raph bunting with a runner on first and no outs when trailing by 1 or tied.

Raph's a great contact hitter. Should have been a hit and run. Would have gotten Katz to second.

Made sense. 2-0 on your first two attempts why pull back because you are ahead in the count and expect a strike? Should have stuck to small ball in that situation.

I'm not a fan of him bunting, but I would be taking with a 2-0 count. If he throws a strike, I put on a hit and run. That likely keeps Raph out of a dp. We've done this all year long and now we get conservative in a big game.

It was NOT a hit and run! If it was, Mason should have been closer to second...

Raph has hit into alot of double plays this year because of being a ground ball hitter. Coach never bunts hardly and cost them in the 9th.

Keep the bunt on or swing, either way I'm NOT taking a 2-0 count.

I disagree with bunting in that situation. You've got three outs to manufacture 1-2 runs and your .340 hitter is up. Rhymes has little experience bunting in game situations this season and a 2-0 count.
