Wait, the twins bunted in the top of the 3rd?  With a dude on 2nd and nobody out?

 

Kill me now

No, buddy. Get to the back of the line.

[Mike Sixel]

Hey, let's give away outs against a great pitcher, early in the game, when our pitcher is really struggling.....

With a guy who just failed to get a bunt down... yesterday... I mean, Santana gets that bunt down, right DaveW?  Also, yeah, swing away guys.  Let's play with a little swagger and confidence.

Nobody expects the sacrifice bunt in the 3rd.

 

The element of surprise!

[ashbury]

Hunter with a HR.  That should piss a few posters off.

If it didn't, your post will have.

[DaveW]

"If it worked in the 10th inning of game 7 of the 1991 world series its bound to work here!"

[Mill1634]

Seems like this umps zone is small

I could be very wrong, but by and large the whole Twins team seems pretty bad at bunting, I think our sacrifice success rate has to be below the league average at least.

[ashbury]

If, but only if?

[ashbury]

I was wondering that.....

 

Like, if john were me, he'd do that, or he'd do that if he was john?

 

it is john, right?

It ruins a joke to try to explain it, but: it was just some circular logic, that's all. You're a regular, it's a game thread, I figured WTH.

[mickeymental]

 

Nah. The only way the Twins stay in it is if Hunter starts hitting again.

from earlier this month: Hunter is worthless, time to put his old ass on waivers and call up arcia or buxton

[Mill1634]

Please don't bunt

[James]

Plouffe with the double.

 

Now, Sano... BUNT!

 

[DaveW]

Ball seems to be carrying well, good at bat by Plouffe.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bunting situation for Sano here

[ashbury]

And that is why you don't bunt in the third inning of a 1-1 game....

Maybe, but if a pitcher is so good that your odds of a successful sac bunt are low, your options are limited indeed.

I figured that, but then I had doubts. you ever have doubts? sometimes I have doubts. Even in me....

[amjgt]

I'll assume Sano just ignored the bunt sign

[Mill1634]

great at bat by Sano

[DaveW]

What an at bat!

[70charger]

Sano is a hitter with a very mature approach. I am impressed.

[James]

 

I'll assume Sano just ignored the bunt sign

I kind of hope that Sano will always ignore the bunt sign.

[SwainZag]

Great AB by the big guy.  

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, Miguel Sano is good at teh beisbol.

[Mike Sixel]

 

great at bat by Sano

 

He seems to have a lot of those.

[SwainZag]

 

I kind of hope that Sano will always ignore the bunt sign.

I kind of hope Sano doesn't even know what a bunt is

[Cap'n Piranha]

Miguel Sano took 18 walks in his first 100 plate appearances.  Danny Santana has taken 24 walks in 693 career plate appearances.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Price is not on his game right now. The Twins need to take advantage of it.

[Mill1634]

Dick don't jynx us

He is taking some much better at bats as of late.

 

Holding it by the thin end is working wonders.    Brunanasky worth every penny yet again.
