"That's him bunting the runner over. He's bunting to get the guy over, but he's also bunting for a hit also. And that's the thing I made clear with him is that he needs to be bunting for a hit there." - RRR on Morgan 2 spot hitter this season: Rk G GS PA AB SH 1 Corey Hart 19 19 82 69 1 2 Nyjer Morgan 80 76 347 311 12 3 Carlos Gomez 43 38 170 153 7 4 Mark Kotsay 10 8 36 32 0 5 Craig Counsell 7 4 20 16 2 6 Jerry Hairston 12 12 54 47 0 7 Felipe Lopez 1 1 5 4 1 8 Josh Wilson 2 1 5 4 0 Hart has 1 bunt from that spot all year, Gomez and Counsell should be bunting every chance they get, esp without the platoon split considering how bad on offense they are. Lopez is no world beater either, not too bad to have him bunt. And Morgan has the rest of the 2 spot SHs -
Yeah we should sign Jeff Suppan to just face the first hitter of every game for us in the playoffs. He has the leadoff HR giving up credentials!
-
I think its been pretty well established Morgan bunts those on his own, not ordered from the bench
-
RF was playing really deep for Nyjer there
-
Glad to see no bunting with Kotsay on deck
-
And only pay him the league minimum.
-
Obviously we can win, but the fact is the vast majority of baseball results come from the players, the manager cant control too much...except things like this. RRR is taking the 5% of the outcome that he controls and making it a negative for the Brewers. That is bad. The only plus side is we can now use Braun in a high leverage situation, but Id rather see him get 4 ABs.
-
So now we are not allowed to question the managers plan? You are saying since the manager formulated this plan it is automatically the best idea? He will have a night off this Thursday and Friday, why does he need Monday too?
-
Braun is 27 years old, he does not need an off day ever. If Prince can start in 160 straight games this year Braun can play tonight, plus we are about to have 2 off days this week!
-
Sorry but they have a 50% chance at best of sweeping the Astros.This is because you assume that the Cardinals have no ability to play above their regular performances with the season on the line.
-
Those are only picked up in the Green Bay and Milwaukee areas because the Packers used to play in Milwaukee. If you dont have the NFL network in Madison you don't get to watch the Packer game at home.
-
Braun up to .333/.396/.599 A .400/.600 year would be awesome
-
Wow we have a ton a balls with eyes already
-
Well I think McGehee will start game 1 of the playoffs no matter what, but hopefully RRR wont hesitate to start Hairy in game 2
-
So it only took RRR 158 games to try that
-
Does RRR not understand if we finish tied with the DBacks we will start the playoffs in Philly and this glorious season will come to a sad quick end.

Hmm I would have McGehee bunt here if I thought he could bunt
