How many times does Hamilton bunt on Garza today?

How many times does Hamilton bunt on Garza today?

 

Garza is as bad at fielding his position as any pitcher you can ever imagine. I'd probably bunt on him every time if I was Hamilton.

Matt "Magic Man" Garza

[pacopete4]

Who was the Reds guy that always hit against us? Well Thames is returning the favor.

[adambr2]

Have to point this out again - including today Brewers have led in 19 out of 21 games this season.

Jerry Hairston?

[yfinn6]

Wow, Hernan crushed that!

[AKCheesehead]

Garza is as bad at fielding his position as any pitcher you can ever imagine. I'd probably bunt on him every time if I was Hamilton.

 

If I were a manager facing Garza I would be tempted in the 2nd inning to have everybody bunt straight at him. He probably wouldn't make it out of the inning.

Jose Bautista is being paid $18mil this year and has 9 hits total.

 

Eric Thames has a 3 year $16mil contract and has 9 homeruns total.

[adambr2]

Coming back from a 4-0 deficit is not easy. Fortunately for the Reds we have the right man on the mound for the job.

[adambr2]

I'm amazed how well Thames can slug lefties. He's amazing.

[markedman5]

My God Thames.........I mean seriously

[MrTPlush]

Alright April Fool's day turned into April Fool's month. How is this even possible?

[adambr2]

If the season were half over, Thames would be on pace for a respectable 20 HR. It's a week to go in April.

[topper09er]

The most important thing Thames is on pace for is a HR cycle tonight

[adambr2]

The grounds crews and opposing SS must hate Arcia. You can see seed shells just everywhere, and it's the 3rd inning .

[adambr2]

Every run will be unearned here because Arcia didn't help him, but no one should be fooled by the 1 ER by Garza to think he was anything but lousy as usual today.

[stoutdude04]

How was the Arcia error? Easy play?

[adambr2]

How was the Arcia error? Easy play?

 

Hard hit ball, he stopped it, then lost it and couldn't find it in time. Not a routine grounder but a play he makes 95% of the time.

[markedman5]

Always count on Garza to give up a bomb after an error......

[adambr2]

Nice to see Perez having a game!

[adambr2]

Lol, Garza with the RBI!

[Ennder]

Even if it worked, letting Garza bat there was just dumb. He looked gassed at the end of the last inning and is just coming off of an injury.

[MDCrew]

I agree Garza is gassed and it's his first game back.
