Seems to be hard to believe that RR, if he was going to have him bunt, wouldn’t have done so right away rather than waiting a pitch It was a suicide squeeze... that was absolutely his call and alot of managers do it after the first pitch.

Seems to be hard to believe that RR, if he was going to have him bunt, wouldn’t have done so right away rather than waiting a pitch Yeah, you make a good point. I don't know... I don't think I put it past RR either, though. I would hope Yolmer has more faith in himself there. Plus, if Yolmer is going to attempt and execute a squeeze. It would make sense that Engel would have to be made aware, right? I don't know if Yolmer can just do that - hoping Engel realizes in-time to get a proper secondary lead and some momentum going to the plate.

Looked more like a safety squeeze to me as the runner didnt go immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replay came after Stone said it was a suicide. I re-watched because I knew it would be a controversial managerial decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket sales must have been way down this year. lol Machado or Harper are not coming to the wrong side of Chicago. You don't put mega-contracts like those into an org that has a minor league support system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
