So in that sense, I didn't mind the bunt as a way to avoid that outcome since it gave you a chance to get the run in. That said, it seems like the baserunner wasn't prepared for it at all and the bunt wasn't quite good enough (although good defense beats the safety squeeze much of the time). We even got the hit from Antonacci that I was hoping for but...no dice.Than hit and run. Literally anything other than telegraph a non suicide with a 15th percentile sprint guy at 3rd. That was brain dead man. Like I love will, but WTF??????????????????????????????

Honestly, I were MLB I’d look into Venable purposely throwing this game for gambling purposes…it’s literally that dumb of a decision to bunt there.suicide? that was a safety squeeze bro. he scores on a suicide if he waits to run on the 2-0 bunt, the safety is why he was out by so much

5 hours ago5 hr That's like when Jim Harbaugh would punt from the 48 yard line on 4th and 2 with Blake Corum in the backfield. I just want to throw my monitor into the wall.

He’s still managing as if he has a 30th ranked offense. WTF?!?I just don’t get it. I hated the Acuna squeeze, but this Romo one was way worse.

I'm a fan of the suicide late innings but safety early innings is dogshit. Makes zero fucking sense, ever.
