All I can say is here we go again. LOL
Last night the San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 to win their 3rd WS in 5 years. The Royals loss also made Ken have orange and black hair after losing a bet to Brady Kannon.
Back to the Game. Should Gordon have gone for an in the park homer in the bottom of the 9th? Dave doesn't think so as when the ball left the bat it was really just a single and Gordon wasn't running as hard.
Now on to bunting and pretty much the same argument that Ken had with Scott (just not as volatile). In the 5th inning when Mad Bum came into the game and right away gave up a single to Omar Infante. Dave knew at that point that Yost was going to bunt. He did and did so with Escobar, who was one of his hotter hitters, and then the worst hitter in his lineup is on deck. Now should he have bunted in that situation? Dave says no, as Yost essentially gave up 2 outs in that spot.
Ken argues this and states that no matter who came up was probably gonna make an out vs Mad Bum and the risk of bunting was better than risking a DP.
This one goes on a bit. Just enjoy. LOL
Giving away outs is a bad Idea in Dave's opinion and he has the data to back it up.
