OK I'm genuinely torn here. With a tie game at home you bunt the guy over, play for 1.

Do you do that down 1? The way they hit I think maybe that makes the decision yes.

If you had any confidence in the lineup you say let 'em get a hit.

Swinging bunt works lol

OK as good as a bunt

Now the hard part....SAC FLY please

Diaz can’t hit to save his life. Going in, I would have used him to sac. But same effect letting him hit, I guess.

Matos LOOKS like a hitter.

Too bad he doesn’t HIT like a hitter (yet)

 

[msgkings322]

MAGIC BABY!!!

Torture?

 

[filosofy29]

Dbacks just got umpjacked

Ump Jack was huge

 

[calsnowskier]

RTI

 

[msgkings322]

See why bunting the Manfred Man over is the move? Don't know why more teams (at home) don't do that.

 

[filosofy29]

Any more late night magic?

 

[calsnowskier]

Come on, Late Night!

 

[filosofy29]

Damn, thought he had it

Yep that was a perfect nasty pitch right on the corner for a K and called a ball

We are catching breaks

 

[calsnowskier]

Shut up, Kruk. That was just a lazy fly ball. Stop blowing smoke, already…

 

[msgkings322]

Slater vs righties is not as fun lol

You know how some hitters intentionally look fooled to get another fastball? Matos just lured the pitcher into a pass ball with the first two swings. Heady play by the kid…

 

[msgkings322]

Outstanding AB by Slater

True but at least he keeps his good eye

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice timing. Our only two actual hitters up here…

 

[msgkings322]

zThis is the guy you want up....this is the fun of baseball this kind of drama

 

[filosofy29]

Man this ump has been so consistently inconsistent. For both teams. Maddening for both pitchers and hitters. Used to hate those kind when I played
