But they weren't going "0 fer" yesterday...that's my point.
When Carlos led off the inning with a double, Smallball dictates Jose should have bunted him over. But Ozze let the hot-hitting Jose swing away and he doubled in Carlos. Paulie, who can't bunt, hit the ball to right side of infield to advance Jose.
One Out
The Hot Hitting Aaron Rowand comes up and Ozzie lets him Swing Away to drive the ball. This will accomplish a Sac Fly or another hit to keep the inning going with less than two outs.
Ozzie was looking to get guys on base, because Cleveland was hittign the s*** out of the ball and one run may not have been enough.
But Aaron smoked a ball that Ben Broussard made a great play on.
I think Ozzie was playing it very smart!
EDIT: By the way, Aaron Rowand is leading the Majors in hitting this month with at a .455 clip (since May 23rd) and Jose leads all Shortstops with 13 hrs.
That's why they aren't bunting.
