Can anyone bunt on this team? Wish we would try it with Burgess here he has been really unlucky at the plate!
I would at least love to have something to watch tonight. I need this in the worst way
1st and 2nd no outs and we don't bunt.
Wow. That non bunt just cost us two outs and two runs.

I've been on team gives Kingston time up until this weekend. But he just doesn't make good decisions in big moments unfortunately.
Rule is up for interpretation and i dont think it applied today but i have seen it called on similar line drives

can the umpires at least not review that one? I watch it and it looks like he caught it and was tossing it into his right hand, then I watched it again and it looks like it was just hit real hard and he couldn’t control it. They probably would not overturn it but I would at least like them to look at it.
Either way it just sucks for us. Oh well
I was BEGGING for a bunt! We needed one run! Why not move two guys into scoring position with one out!?!
He is a left handed batter and Kingston didnt trust Skinny to hit the ball somewhere.
How was it not an infield fly rule? Did not leave the infield, under one out, force at third… Catchable ball??? I guess it wasn’t an easy enough catch?
I dont personally think the pitcher had time to think to drop it.
How I long for the grit and fortitude of the 2010 and 2011 team. They never let anything get them down and they played pissed off. Damn I miss those days
Two games in a row with questionable coaching decisions makes you wonder , what if ?
If there were three guys I would want this season to be on, its them.
Those teams had stone cold killers who would not accept losing. Completely different mindset under Kingston.
Infield fly rule only applies to fly balls not line drives.
It is assumed that if it is a line drive then intentionally missing it would result in a base hit to the outfield.
The intentionally dropped line drive rule then applies to infielders
Expected runs is higher when not bunting. Giving away an out is almost always the wrong decision.
