Would consider a squeeze here if Lockridge can bunt.

He sure got the bunt down, but it did not work at all.

[jason21nl]

Stop Fn bunting!!!’

[82brewcrew82]

Stupid bunting

 

[bm1090]

Well, not if you're gonna bunt like that.

[Brewluver]

That was dumb

[kevinisaname]

Well, it's up to Joey...

[Bulldogboy]

Pinch hitter?

[tomoohka]

I cannot believe how bad that was. Come on, fellas

[bm1090]

Not sure why but I'm feeling a Joey hit here.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Ortiz is due for a moment 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Damnit.... cmon guys, don't need that ****.   We have the pitcher on the ropes, why bunt there?

[kevinisaname]

And Joey doesn't come through. Of course. That felt like a huge mistake there. We needed two runs.

[edfunderburk]

Wood pecking …

Well, I'm still right. 

[BCF]

Damn. Joey hit it hard right at him 

[adambr2]

Murphy 100% payed dearly for his lineup decisions in that inning. 

[jason21nl]

It’s so incredibly dumb to bunt there.  Absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah, I'd be PHing here... we might not get another opportunity...

and predictably, we get a weak grounder

No hit for Joey

[Bulldogboy]

The guy had a 13 pitch ab and then is asked to bunt. Make it make sense.

It’s backfired on every playoff team that’s tried it in a big spot this playoffs. Yet here they keep doing it because, small ball, yay.

Well Bauers got a hit.  

[yfinn6]

They really bailed out Taillon with that bunt attempt. Lockridge had a 13 pitch AB his previous AB. If it fails, then you're counting on Ortiz for a big hit. Predictable outcome.
