Bunters Who Suck
In this afternoon's game, Pirates are finally reacting to the fact that the Cubs are giving them first base time and time again. Brown and Blass are chatting about how sometimes the defense WANTS you to just get a free single.
But, this is Garrett Jones, Gabby Sanchez, Travis Snider, etc. we are talking about here. The team has managed ONE HIT through eight innings! They've scored 4 runs in the 3-game series. They've had 10 hits in three games. We wouldn't want to give up a chance at a home run, though! Oh no!!
The thing is, it appears none of them have the capability to drop a bunt. Why the heck is Jay Bell coaching this team, then, if not to teach them to bunt??
