Of course it's a terrible call when it doesn't work...had it worked you would be praising the coaches for the great call. That's why he makes the calls, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. It's easy to second guess when you know the outcome. It's the way we play, he's bunted and squeezed his entire coaching career.Quote:

Two failed suicides nearly cost us a series we absolutely should have swept. I'm moving on and like I said, I love this coaching staff, and surely there are tons of things we can blame the loss on (piney's error, joe's error, poor pitching, missed strike 3 on ump, etc.) but the bunt call in that situation frustrated me.Quote:

Hoping Schmidt is good to go soon. A few innings against St. Peters would be perfect...
Not sure why we scheduled St. Peters. They haven't won more than 11 games going back to 2014. That's going to hurt. Rain outs would be nice!Quote:

Suicide was the right call. That pitcher came in the 8th and had sat down everyone until Kennon got that single. I think it had been 8 players in a row. So the pitcher was stingy.
I said the same thing yesterday right after the bunt went foul.Quote:

The reality is we were just a few plays away from a sweep, and a few plays away from getting swept.
