There's a runner on second and nobody out.

Those are the stupid freaking rules that Rob Manfred forced on our throats.

I hate the rule, by the way.

But I have to live by it, so I'm going to analyze it fairly.

You have a runner on second and nobody out.

You've got DJ Lemayhew coming up, who, despite hitting reasonably well,

is still not someone you're brimming with confidence. Then you've got, or you have Jason D.J. Lemayhew, two of your non-better hitters,

and then you have Austin Wells.

You want to take the lead.

The last thing you want to do is allow the Red Sox in the bottom of the 10th inning to know

all they need to do is score or run.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to bunt?

Like, I'll go around the room. Would you want

to bump with Jason Dominguez? No. Just let somebody try to get a hit. Okay. Get a hit.

Would you want a bunch? Sean, your big bunt guy. Remember you wanted Juan, soda to bump last year.

I would not have, not with Dominguez was a good bunter,

you know why I wouldn't want to bunt?

I'm not giving it out away.

I agree.

So what I want to do is I got two options.

I can just let them hit.
