It’s the same, same old song: Brad doesn’t bunt. There was none more glaring than today’s 4-0 shutout, where three Tigers double plays cost us any run support.
Shane “The Crane” gave up all four in one inning. Otherwise, we kept Oakland’s lineup in check. They tried to offer us some help behind three errors, but we refused to move our base runners around with any type of assistance.
I’m ready to crack. It’s not the losing, it’s the setup before the rug pull-out every time. You don’t hit into a double play without reaching base first. Which means we’re doing our job.
Ausmus is Lucy and we’re Charlie Brown. Owww.
And no one has the cojones to call him out. In the postgame, Craig Monroe says “You can’t explain it.” REALLY? THERE’S NO WAY TO PREVENT IT?
BUNT!
ENTERING SMALL BAAAAALL!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD – — USE ME!
BUNT.
BUNT.
BUNT.
We’re not going anywhere, Brad – but you are.
…..for crying out loud.. Bunt already…we’ve seen the sit back and wait for a hit under the last manager and it was two years of torture. No one is signing up for that again!
