I think I’m with BCC on the bunting issue. You bunt with Crisp or Lugo, but not with Dustin Pedroia. Or at least you don’t bunt with Dustin unless it’s the bottom of the ninth and you’ve got the tying and winning runs on first and second with no one out.

I completely agree with your previous post that Jacoby Ellsbury needs a rest. A couple of days off would really help the guy.

And Jim, I actually do remember seeing you bunt on TV once or twice… that’s going WAY back.

To which comment are you so rudely referring?

This may be the most retarded thing I’ve seen someone say out loud.

Didn’t the sabermetrics guys show that on average, bunting often isn’t worth it? You only get 27 outs, no need to give ‘em away. Besides, can’t Ellsbury score from 1st on just about anything? Like a wild pitch?

I hope Masterson is a sick reliever. We need it!
