fathom Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:23 AM) I hope we don't want Danks to play over Viciedo... He's nothing but a late inning replacement. Ironically, that bunt was about the farthest he's hit a ball in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't blame Danks on that pop up, Danks bunting against a lefty is not the best option horrible managing mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) Wow that was so much fail. I wanted a good bunt, not a f***ing pop up. Doesn't make as much sense with Olmedo and Beckham coming up (compared to DeAza/Youk). You'd trust Danks over Olmedo, but it's surely a sign he wasn't confident Jordan would do much besides K against Chen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 so im not saying this because he popped out right now, but olmedo has absolutely no business in the mlb. our bench is horrendous right now. Olmedo, Flowers, Hudson, and Danks - ouch. hopefully something pops up over waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time a guy pops up a bunt, you blame the guy trying to lay down the bunt, unless he's a slugger who hasn't been asked to bunt since high school.

I thought the idea of a bunt and non-K or infield pop up had a higher chance of scoring a run than relying on hits from Olmedo and Danks. I was wrong.

I was wrong. Danks had a terrible idea to bunt to the charging Hosmer with the slow runner on 2nd. If you bunt there, you have to go to 3rd.

caulfield12 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Throw beat the runner....but AJ wasn't in a great position to make the tag, too far out in front of home plate for some reason. Well, let's just put that run on AJ, pretty much, taking one away from us and giving one to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
