Overmatched manager trying to coach an overmatched player

My god Ricky, this isn't softball

Here comes the bunt

Why isn't Timmy running for Castillo? Givens takes forever to pitch from the stretch

So glad to hear they worked on bunting today. Ricky is such a high school softball coach. Was that his way of trying to put the blame on Yolmer for last night?

My god Engel sucks. His mechanics are so terrible

These at bats with RISP are brutal. Everyone keeps chasing the splitter

No reason to push it right now

Why clear his mind? He's been fine, let him face the righties.

Truly feels like we have a pitcher batting 9th

Moncada clueless on the splitter. Sad effort

All I know is Omar platoons his lefty hitting outfield prospect and he also likes to bunt.

I didn't hear the initial Heyman interview, but when they talked to levine later in day, the specifically said it was "informed speculation" he shared

Isn't this to avoid people selling them on ebay

113 mph exit velocity for Eloy homer

That could be a valuable loss come the end of the season. KC might be a pest, as they are getting destroyed by non-AL central teams

Agreed

Also with no good hitting options on the bench and the knowledge that their closer is a righty, you can't pull someone for defensive reasons in the top of the 9th when you are trailing. That's common sense managing

I will give Hahn credit, they know exactly what Renteria would provide them

Final question that needs to be asked...can Manny bunt?

Some really bad managing tonight. The loss is fine, but this type of high school softball crap can't continue when you are a contender.

Like I said earlier, Heyman seemed to get told he wouldn't be.

cough Girardi cough

Popped up to first baseman in fair territory and didn't leave the batters box

Awful awful bunt call
