They also seem to be using the bunt to move runners a little more of late. I would like to see a bit more of that when the situation calls for it. No matter what happens the rest of the season I really like the way this team plays the game.
I really do like the way the team plays the game but last night in the 4th inning is exactly what I was talking about above. They had just cut the lead to 4-2 and had runners at 1st & 2nd, nobody out and Hedges up. The man is hitting .167. That situation called for the bunt IMO. If they had executed the bunt and moved the runners up they would have tied the game at 4 in that inning instead of trailing 4-3 and maybe they win 5-4 in 9 innings when they scored the 4th run to tie it in the 8th. I could see it if Hedges just cannot bunt but I have seen him successfully execute a bunt on more than one occasion.
GO GUARDS!
