Bring back Da Bong!

jesus christ.

Acuna is in at SS. Sandlin starts for us. We really need this game imo. Momentum is real and the guys have to be a bit down after last night.

I agree but that's only because i don't live in Chicago. I understand it from that perspective. It was a bit jarring to wake up see in this thread celebrations about the cubs loss last night instead of ours. But again, I get it.

From a manager that ability is what you want.

Are we pushing Davis back a day? Sandlin starting tonight?

Yea I saw that quote in the other thread and agree, his game is contact, I'd rather just him him swing away with 2 strikes. People think bunting is a given but you practice it so little in games even if you're a "good bunter" s%*# can go wrong. Was a bad loss with a bunch of little stuff going against us but we move on.

I appreciate that Will didn't throw him under the bus. Will's a good man manager, tactics sometimes questionable but that's any manager in hindsight.

With two strikes as I said in the game thread just now if the dugout kept the bunt on that's a mistake. That said, I think he just bunted on his own. A case of just trying to do too much. He's a contact hitter just put it in play.

I'm curious if Nishida bunted on his own with 2 strikes or if that came from the dugout. It seemed fairly clear he had no real shot of getting one down against the lefty.

god that sucked.

oh nevermind, that's impossible. sorry to get so histrionic, just bad luck.

stay on the fucking bag!

Come on Sam, man bad luck but also a fuckup.

wtf, why didn't he just fucking stay on the fucking bag?

Nice, great fucking job putting that in motion!

Pick him up Sam.

Yikes.

Kelenic throws that ball into the dugout imo.

NISHIDA

He gawn!

Romo's framing is on point right now.

great, manfred ball.

Tip the cap to banda there imo. Grabbed that early strike then executed. Like Will being aggressive here obviously.
