a runner at third is more important in my mind

i certainly agree with the logic. simply saying 3/4/5 are usually poor bunters; thus the managers being reluctant to take the bat out of their hands unless theyre confident they can get it down. in a perfect world, all major leaguers can drop perfect bunts down. but the reality is that berkman and ensberg arent going to get it down consistently.

It's more clearcut in the bottom of the inning. With the top of the inning, 1 might not be enough. (EDIT: It would have been - sorry I thought you were talking about the rangers game) But with the mashers up, it's not necessarily "wrong" to take your chances

what's more amusing to me is the amount of gamblers on these boards that think they know everything about managing and think they could do a better job themselves. But that's just me.

so then you pull berkman or ensberg for a pinch hitter.
lets say the bunt is successful.
run still doesnt end up scoring.

then youve compounded the mistake.

trust me, i agree that lots of batting fundamentals are poor. indians happen to be one of the worst bunting teams in the big leagues. but you have to also have faith that ensberg can either deliver a hit or control the bat well enough to get the runner over to 3rd without a bunt.

it appears they only had their back up catcher on the bench so it wasn't really an option. ensberg should be embarrassed, not only does his f*ing manager not have faith in his bunting but he can't even hit the f*ing ball to the right side of the field. Maybe these clowns should spend some time working on these things in the cage instead of putting on shows in BP.

the next batter hit a fly ball to right field and a run would of scored if garner would have bunted the runner to third. stupid coaching. fire that ass hole.
