I was fine with the sac bunt last night. Didn't like this one. Not a fan of Heineman attempting the base hit bunt there either. You're not going to score the runner on it. Unless it's basically a freebie, that probably isn't the time for it.
In a vacuum, yes. Against a great pitcher, I'd rather be able to score a run without trying to find another hit, especially when we're already up by 3.
We also saw Bo take strike 3 down the pipe and, in spite of the walks, Vladdy this spring kept challenging very obvious strikes. I feel like these guys either need to guess a little less or swing a little more.
He doesn't really seem to have changed anything. His stuff seems pretty much the same as earlier in his career. Baseball has just seen an explosion in velocity and spin in recent years.
I think Tate was DFA'd. We should have Fisher, Fluharty, Garcia, Green, Hoffman, Lauer, Little, Rodriguez. You have to think Rodriguez, Little, and Garcia are probably unavailable. They'd likely prefer not to use Hoffman if possible. Still some innings available down there.
