Why would you bunt with a runner on 2nd and 2 strikes? Bourjos just is NOT a very good bunter for a guy than runs like he does.
 
Why bunt at all??? The man was already in scoring position. All we need is one of the three batters to hit a single. So instead lets give up an out by bunting. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It drives me crazy. We took out Molina and then bunted any way. OMG. Mathenius.
 
I agree Duck but you CAN'T do it with two strikes. I'll be interested to find out if it was called from the bench or not with 2 strikes. Especially when Bourjos might beat it out even if he hits on the infield.

This. No need to bunt at all. Especially after PR'ing for Yadi. Matheniging boys...Matheniging.
 
When even DannyMac questions it you know it was one of the bigger head scratchers of the year.

But then, why did Roenicke bring in Broxton to see 3 lefties in a row and why did he stick with him when everyone watching could see he was struggling. Heck the catcher kept giving him mechanical pointers but the bench just stood there and watched him give it away. Roenicke out-Matheniged Matheny....

Lohse was about to explode in the dugout. By the look on his face when he headed down the hallway I'd say something got destroyed in the clubhouse. Lol.
 
Agree. Sometimes MM acts like it is his first game ever. Plain and simple it was just stupid unless PJ did it on his own and if he did he should only play in the 8th inning or later. Got lucky in that we still won the game!
 
Was that question asked in the post game interview? Did Matheny call for it and if so WHY?
