The Nats almost blew another late lead vs the Marlins. Dave still feels that its a solid Nats Bullpen, but more pressing is they need to start hitting with RISP.
The Twins played a bad game last night and deserved to win. Dave, though, is upset about the coaching of Ron Gardenhire, who is an old school coach.
The Sac Bunt is his rant. Last night Sam Fuld has not hit into a DP all year, but Gardehire had him bunting with runners on first and second, no outs and down 2 runs in the 7th inning. You need to play for a big inning. Fuld Bunts and the next two batters struck out. No runs where scored.
You have to stop taking the bat out of batters hands. It is a fact that has been documented for decades, that the Sac Bunt actually lowers your percentages to score run, cause you are just giving away an unnecessary out.
