Welp

That escalated quickly!

Coinz likes playing for the tie. eKY will have to leave in 15 mins. so that they can make it to class tomorrow.

Now Coinz bunts with Robson, who was 3-4, with no outs and two men on. Robson pops it up. I didn't like that call.

 

[Predestined]

We shouldn't have brought in Tatum O'Neal

We seem to have the opposite symptom of years past.. Good starters but average bullpen. I see there's been some development but they better step up quickly if we want to take a game this weekend.

And Rooker chases a 3rd strike he couldn't have reached with a boat paddle it was so far outside

You can't say that bunting with no outs and a man on 1st and 2nd in a tie ballgame in the 8th with speed at the plate isn't the right call. You always bunt in that situation.

Robson shouldn't have popped it up. But the call to bunt was correct.

First, speed at the plate has nothing to do with it. They know he's going to bunt. Or do you expect them to get the lead runner?
Second, the risk to reward with bunting the runner to third is just the same as swinging away. With no outs a player can just as easily score from second - especially with the 1-2-3 hitters at the plate. So, it's not always the right call.
