Raph only hits when no one's on base... Mr CLUTCHLESS!

this! take another pitch, or bunt

you bunt not only to move the runner, but to stay out of the double play. absolutely the worst case scenario.

I agree, hindsight is 20-20 but you are down a run man on first no outs, you need to bunt and get them over to 2nd give them 2 shots at scoring. It is not complicated matter of fact it is really just coloring in the spaces.

If anyone says that he should have been allowed to swing away in that situation, you're an idiot.

That was f'ing horrible.

I don't care about hindsight. I would have bitched if Raph got on. Objectively wrong and I hate bunting.

Hindsight's 20/20. Nothing wrong with letting Raph swing away IMO.



Everything is wrong with. You play for the tie by bunting the runner over. Every fricking time. Youre an idiot.

2-0, down by 1, 0 outs, runner on first, you make the pitcher throw a strike. He should of never swung with the count 2-0

Horrible coaching

I am really struggling to make sense of the Rhymes at bat.

Best closer in baseball, 2-0 count, man on first no outs, guy at plate who is a DP machine, and you have him swing away? Wow.

Well that just shows you don't know a f*cking thing about baseball, nor have you ever played the game at a high level "obviously for you dumb-arse that would be anything above little league." If he would have bunted Katz over, guess what if that single didn't score the runner we would have had runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out, there are a ton of ways to score the runner with one out and runner on 3rd. It also makes you pitch differently and play defense differently.

It was a 2-0 count to your 5-hole hitter. What better situation are you looking for to get a pitch to try and drive?

The run expectancy actually says you swing away. Remember Raph still has to execute the bunt.

I don't give a rats arse.

You make him throw you a strike. You need baserunners and at least that guy from first on second.

It's not like Raph has been lighting it up.
It was a very stupid decision.
