October 7Oct 7 Holy shit, should have stuck with Roki Not the smartest risk to take with no outs but he got in there.
October 7Oct 7 Wild emotional swings. Bruin probably going to crawl into his liquor cabinet either way after this one.
October 7Oct 7 with all of the hits and balls put in play, that bunt decision is just baffling. the dodgers bullpen sucks, i’m sure they could not have been more thrilled to see a sacrificial out, and one that ended up moving philly backwards. Edited October 7Oct 7 by Derka
October 7Oct 7 Author Terrific play at first base there for the closer Freddie has saved a lot of asses with his stellar D. Fucking almost Steve Saxed that throw

Fucking almost Steve Saxed that throw I wasn’t watching so only saw bunt and fc on the gamecast, but you cannot let the 1b field the ball on a sac to 3rd. You just can’t have your bat angled that way ever.

October 7Oct 7 It was actually a pretty good bunt. But Muncy was standing on top of him and Castellanos was holding his dick and got a terrible jump.
October 7Oct 7 ^ And Thomson saved his faster runner. In 2025, it is blisteringly easy to find any big play in a matter of seconds. Only Duck would read Gamecast & just guess, then post said guess.
October 7Oct 7 I mean, even if all you did was read Gamcast, it would tell you the out was from Muncy to Betts. You posted something stupid, we're used to it.
October 7Oct 7 Author BTW, listened to a great postgame interview with Max. They never practice the wheel route (bunt to third, short immediately breaks to third, 3b wheels throw to third), but Mookie said if they bunt we HAVE to try because they felt the game slipping away. It was executed to perfection. They don’t make that play, we lose I think. Max’s throw was spot fucking on.

October 7Oct 7 Because the 2B always covers 1st on a bunt when the 1B charges. That's as old as bunts have been a thing.
