I'm not giving up on this game. I refuse to lose.

Bunting your 9 hole hitter to put 2 guys in scoring position for the top of the order makes a lot of sense.

Wrong. This wasn't the 9th. Nola can hit and isn't a DP threat. Poor move.

Overly aggressive move that cost us a scoring opportunity.

Wrong. That is a good play to try to get a man in position to score on a sac fly. Mitchell has ++ speed and MM is a RH hitter. That was a good move but looked bad b/c of what happened right before.

plus with mitchell on 2nd, you have the steal threat still there. no reason to bunt IMO

So you trust the freshman to get down a bunt in a crucial situation but not get a hit?? The odds would have been better just to let JM try to steal #rd.

Yes.

It ain't over...but it is looking close.

I disagree. Putting 2 men in scoring position for the top of the order is a very standard move. To call it "wrong" is just idiotic.

I disagree. We are down 2. Gibbs was on 1st. Arkansas could have easily thrown to 2nd to get Gibbs. Low percentage play IMO and it cost us an extra opportunity to drive in a runner.

why the frick do we not have anyone warming up...

Yeah that worked out well
