| "Nice bunt, pretty boy." |
"...then in the bottom of the 12th, Nats pitcher Ross Detwiler twice tried to bunt high pitches with men on second and third.
“What is he DOING?” Hernandez asked after the first high strike. “What is he DOING? What a rockhead. Are you kidding me? That’s ball 3? Second and third and you’re BUNTING?”
Then it happened again.
“Ahahaha,” Hernandez said, more or less. “I don’t get this one bit. Davey’s just furious. Why doesn’t he have the third base coach come down and tell him, ‘you’re not bunting!’ This is ball 4! Oh my word!”
This was just spot on by Keith. I was watching this at bat and yelling at the tv.."What the F*CK is he DOING!!??" Just a super painful experience to watch Ross Detweiler in the batter's box. I do not understand how a major leaguer, pitcher or not, could look that clueless. Not only did Ross keep trying to bunt, he kept trying to bunt balls that were absolutely nowhere near the strike zone. Ramirez seemed just as likely to throw his next pitch into the stands than the strike zone...and still Ross was determined to bunt that ghost runner over to 2nd base. What a nightmare. Then again, with the way that game was going - errors everywhere, Jesus Flores deciding to not play catcher anymore - maybe Detweiler's bunting shenanigans just fit right in.

| "No bunting!! No bunts!" |
i was contemplating posting this... but was still mad about the loss... mex's delivery was so awesome... just completely incredulous, and angry... just vintage hernandez.
ReplyDeleteas horrendous as this game was, terrible fundamentals on display is when mex rises his broadcasting to the next level.
he must have criticized "bad fundies" 20 times from the 7th inning on...
god bless keith for making rotten baseball entertaining.
