Cannot defend Mainieri here. It was a 2-0 count with a man on and no one out in a one run game bottom 9th. Rhymes is a DP machine BUT a great contact hitter. No hit-and-run. Terrible.


This.

You bunt Rhymes. He is a great contact hitter and will try to make contact on anything even if that means reaching across the plate and hitting into a weak double play.

I mean did Maineri really think Rhymes was gonna get a flat 4 seam fastball with no movement on 2-0? The guy is a sidewinder. Every pitch he throws has movement. And you take off the bunt?

I'm sorry but you've got a better chance of getting a bunt down on a moving fastball than you've got trying to drive the same pitch, JUST because it's 2-0.

Maineri always playing "the numbers"...well it shouldn't have been a surprise that the "numbers" would be 5-4-3
