It would be really funny to put out 4 runs on back-to-back Cy Young winners with a lineup missing 3 of our best hitters! 

Bunt them into submission!

Is this the equivalent of the ball always finding the fielder who's playing out of position? 😂

Hopefully our handling of Skenes from last year continues into this one...

That bunting woodpecker(?) is troubling in so many ways. Is that how he was coached to place his, err, are those wing talons?

[Jim French Stepstool]

I like the bunting because A: They're pretty good at it and B: Forcing people to honor it creates some tougher angles for an INF. I think at times it's gotten into opponents' heads. Keep that up; keep going deep into counts. It's a different kind of pressure than what you can apply when you aren't down 3 bats. Do what you can.

Nothing earth-shattering but I think some secondary bats are slowly returning to norm. Rengifo is 4 for his last 15 w/only one K. Frelick 5-14; Hamilton is 6 for his last 12. Even Matos is 3 for his last 11. And Perkins' ABs look much better.
