The bunting today is not the problem.  The problem is the middle of the order is garbage right now and not producing.

4-0

They just do so many little things wrong 

Tony loves giving away outs offensively and defensively. 

That's the ballgame.

This bullpen is in shambles. Ruiz has no business being in the majors.

At least it won't be a 2 hit loss...

Wow Billy nearly threw him out lol.

Only if Not Cishek breaks it

When your team is struggling you want them to have more chances not less

I wonder if @ron883 still thinks Jose Ruiz is good.

I will trade the loss for a minor Kopech injury 

DFA Ruiz please

Was there any word on Kopech's injury?  Saw it happen while on a conference call - so curious on the outcome.  Really hoping it is really minor - he tripped and a bit spooked after he got up / mentally embarassed vs. any physical issue.   

It’s obvious this team is missing Eloy and Robert.

You can always count on the bullpen 

From best bullpen in baseball to only one guy who can be trusted if Kopech is out.

You could say that for every game if thats your mindset.  But if you believe in bunting this exactly when you do it.  You bunt with the bad hitters to set up the big boppers for a timely hit.  It just didnt work today.

Ruiz is gonna pitch this into a blowout.

3 bunts and Ruiz in a close game. The LaRussa blunders continue. However, you can’t win if you don’t score.

Now that the outcome is pretty much decided: Will Ruiz record an out?

Not yet.  Stone just said they didn't have any update.

I'm glad you said "middle of the order" instead of just blaming one player.
