He could K, pop up, line out into a DP, a shallow fly out, or get a hit also. SO what's your point ?

He's on this team to be a slapdick that doesn't strike out.  If he can't be a slapdick that can move a runner from second to third then he has no reason to be on this team. SO that's my point.

No sounds like your point was a hitter can hit a GB to the right side any time he wants to and you know that isn't the case.

So another wasted out. Rickey manages like he is facing Pedro Martinez in his prime.

Meanwhile over his last 7 games, Jurado has pitched like dick and has a near 8 ERA.   Moncada and McCann are showing what you are supposed to do to pitching like this.  Not bunt.

The lineup is so much better with Timmay and Moncada.  Next year should be fun with Robert and Madrigal set to replace a couple holes in our lineup, sign a free agent RF, and find a DH somewhere (Yermin?) until Vaughn is ready.

so 2 bunts result in 2 runs plus a HR with a guy on base. This is not an argument to support RR just saying so far it's worked out twice and we added extr runs and it' 4-0 after ,.. make that 5-0  before the 3rd inning is finished.

McCann !!

would have scored anyway with the second bunt. You just gave them an out. It cannot be determined if the run would have scored with the first bunt, but with the guy on the mound, good gift out. The Sox scored 5 runs with 8 outs. 25% of the outs were gifts.

Yes a 34 year old slapdick should be able to hit a groundball to the right side any time he has to because that's his damn job.

Ok if you are going to be unreasonable and make non sensenscal posts I have no further use to debate this. You know hitters can't do things just because they have to or want to otherwise how do any teams ever win if everyone does exactly what they have to or need to do. All games would be 30 runs per side if what you say is true.

One of the bunts was popped up and luckily landed before the 3rd baseman snagged it in the air.  Lets not act like you cant fuck up a bunt.
