Open Game Thread - Game 97: A's @ Yankees (cont.)

PrintA's trail the Yankees 2-1 going to the 7th. Chamberlain and Gallagher both were impressive (albeit profligate with their pitches) today, with the exception of the bottom of the 2nd, when the bottom half of the Yankees order nailed Gallagher for a couple runs. Game's now in the hands of the respective bullpens.

especially since they sent someone down who can hit the ball further than 10 feet
Yay, Wes Bankston!

Hannahan’s a better bunter than that.

he's been in a hole the last month or so
at the plate. I really think this is where having a veteran hitter/clubhouse leader would help immensely.

Hannahan just can't cut it....
He’s hitting .218 and we are like 100 games into the season….
can't we get
a hitting coach who can teach the bare bones basics of bunting??
Maybe I’m not a detailed enough observer, but it sure seems like the times when we try to bunt go horribly wrong. Is the skill really that hard?
