June 8, 200917 yr I truly believe that we need to start playing more small ball via more bunting and hit and runs. I understand the personnel doesnt possess great skills in this department but the offense has done such a sh*tty job at producing runs. This same non-sense occured last year. If I am the manager I am making sure our coaching staff teaches Hermida how to bunt and then I have him bunt every time he has a runner on first and second and no outs. I am so sick and tired of seeing runners with first and second and no outs and getting nothing out of it. It is time to somewhat change our offensive approach and install a little bit more bunting with this team. Manfacturing runs has been an issue the past two years yet we continue to take the same apporach. If we cant manfacture runs without any small ball might as well give small ball a try and teach guys such as cody and hermida and Uggla (to a lesser extent) how to bunt.
June 8, 200917 yr the offense has done such a sh*tty job at producing runs. We're 5th in the National League in runs scored. We were 5th in the National League in runs scored last year, too. Run production is not a problem for this team.
June 8, 200917 yr I can't get past someone saying "I hate seeing a runner on 1st and 2nd wasted" and the proposed solution is to give up an out... especially for one of the guys on our team whose best ability is not making them

Run production is not a problem for this team. To be fair, we were 12th in the NL in runs scored, in the month of May. Lately, it hasn't exactly been easy to score runs. (not that I agree, at all, with the OP, just sayin')
