re: Is Austin Nola a Liability for Us?

The coach didn't make him bunt to take the bat out of his hands, the bunt was called bc that's what you do in that situation at this level of baseball. There are quite a few other players in our lineup that would be asked to bunt in that same situation. In my mind, at least Nola isn't as much a strikeout liability as Mitchell. I would never suggest benching Mitchel, but at least Nola puts the bat on the ball and has some good at bats. And his defense has made our middle infield outstanding IMO

ETA: The comments about Mitchell are predominantly vs. left handed pitching to be fair.
