Our defense has been a struggle this inning. I thought Banjoff probably had a chance at the 1st ball, and Chick threw a 5 foot throw 20 feet, and Efry is no where near the ball when he should have been expecting bunt.
It should be Hallmark I thought. He is the CF who needs to lead the OF. Maybe he heard Acker calling it, and Acker heard him calling it, but neither called it.
Minnesota is not a good team. I would say we took advantage, and made them pay. I think it's more of Minnesota falling apart, than anything we are doing. Still, if we hold on it's still a win.
I don't even know why you try it. The catcher is running to 1st. Should be an easy play. Matthews who just beat out a nearly routine play is running to 2nd. Almost cost Minnesota a run.
Maybe the Sac Bunt will get Efry going like it did Roskam. Since the 2nd game of the Iowa series, when Roskam laid down a bunt, he is 5 - 9 with a double, home run 3 RBI's.
