Why wouldn't you still try to bunt with 2 strikes? 1st and 2nd with no outs and Sheets up. The best thing that happens if he swings is a hit (not likely) the worst thing that happens is he GIDP.
After watching plenty of hockey at many venues I can safely say there isn't a better, louder, more energetic crowd than the fans at the Xcel Energy Center. This crowd is rocking after Koivu gave them the lead.
I agree with this. Torres has been really lucky to get out of some of the situations he's pitched himself into. Nobody in our bullpen has been particularly impressive imo.
