I hated the bunt in the 7th but if you’re going to do that wouldn’t it make sense to pinch-run for Santana? Surely Isbel or Oliveras is faster (I mean, I’ve seen park benches move faster than Santana) and you have O’Hearn to play defense the rest of the game. Why even have O’Hearn on the roster if you’re not going to make a move like that? (I don’t think he should be on the roster at all but)
YES! I thought about a pinch runner immediately in that situation. What Would Yost Do, right? I still can’t wrap my head around Dozier bunting. A very dumb baseball play.
My favorite quote from Max Scherzer is that all pitchers get into jams but great ones get themselves out. I hope all of our young pitchers (but especially one in particular) noticed how Greinke didn’t lose his cool when he got into a jam.

Exactly, exactly and exactly!

Love that quote. These kids on the staff can learn a ton from Greinke. Especially one in particular if he decides to pay attention.
