Welp... the useless bunting manager strikes again..

 

But the real factor was the horrible AB's our batters had today.. no patience or plan.

Yolmer missing an easy out at home.

Looked like a team that knows it not supposed to win.

You have to love having Anderson bunt to get a RISP for Engel. If doesn't really matter this year but it will eventually.  If Renteria wants to hold his players accountable for playing the  correct way, which he should, he should be held accounable managing the correct way.

Watching highlights now...why didn’t Yolmer throw home?  Forgot there was only one out? He didn’t even look...he was playing in on the grass.  Abreu was pissed, you could tell.

 

Well, at least we brought the Twins right back into race.  Indians are only 17-17.

In a span of ten minutes, you had that play and then two infielders that had no game awareness at all. Not a good look for Ricky

Tim Anderson has to know to take the out at 1B when he basically just crossed 2nd base getting that ball and is almost humanly impossible to throw backwards on the run. 
Have no idea what Sanchez was thinking.

Agreed with some who have already posted, doesn't make Renteria look good. We'll see if he holds anybody accountable.

I gave Renteria credit for having players that show up and try to win. He’s done a better job than Robin in that department. But the front office needs to be very careful about who they think can get this team over the top when the talent level is close to contention.

On the plus side, we’ve produced 3 of the top 12 shotstops statistically in baseball this year.

#5 Escobar (who might not be ranked so high without Sox pitching to feast upon) and #9 Marcus Semien.  Plus yet another for AJ Preller.

Next, hilarious Brandon McCarthy Twitter humor!!!

 

And at least we’re not Yadier Molina about right now, so there’s that.

 

Finally, passed the Royals for 3rd pick, closing in on Balt and Cincy!

So all the advanced stat books say teams should never bunt. We bunt all the time. What does that tell you? RR is doing it to help the tank? Or RR likes the bunt?

Say "Goodnight", Greg.
