Vs the rockies. Someone on first. Cliff of course told to bunt him over. Fielders are like, well of course he's going to bunt, he's a reliever, so they come ridiculously far in. Cliff pulls back the bunt on his own and just slaps it to right field. Absolutely beautiful.

June 2, 20169 yr That was actually a legit cut, short, quick and driven oppo. He also took a pitch nicely on 1-2 just after fouling one off.
June 2, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Nice non-slide into second. Almost overran it. I was scared he wouldn't score on the sac fly! Then I saw the throw...
June 2, 20169 yr That would have been a heckuva time to have Cespedes in CF. Still don't quite get why they didn't insert him into the game in the 7th for Conforto when they had runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs.

June 2, 20169 yr I think my favorite part was the "slide" into second base. He almost took Walker out because he tried to slide but his body wasn't capable of it and he just fell into the base.
June 2, 20169 yr Genius move by RV telling Frazier to hit a HR to tie the game and for batting Albers because RV just KNEW Albers was over due. Sheer brilliance! RV for manager of the year!
June 2, 20169 yr Bat Albers makes it to Topps. http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...d-baseball-card
