Or just a space-eater...
Okay...
Piniella just said that Blanco's AB in the 4th inning...with 1st and 2nd and no out and a 3-1 game... was all on his own...
Piniella said that at no point did he put the bunt sign on.
Made some wise assed remark that maybe Blanco was trying to bunt for a hit...hno:
Here's the problem with what Piniella just said...
Blanco had attempted to bunt several times in that AB...
It was not...a 2 and 2 count... and then he tried to bunt for the 1st time...so what the hell was Piniella watching?
I guess he was not paying attention...because according to his post-game comments...Piniella would have hollered at Blanco to knock it off and swing the damn bat.
Or maybe he is just trying to cover for a gaffe Quade made with the signs...
Either way...Piniella did a real bad job managing that situation...because Blanco kept trying to bunt until he K'd.
