Let’s revisit Fredi’s decision Thursday to pinch hit for Shelby Miller with a runner on first and no outs. His rationale highlights one of my biggest problems with the Braves skipper.
“You don’t want to give outs away,” he said
Which begs the question, Why have you given away so many outs over the years?
We’re talking about a manager who has routinely bunted with a runner on second and no outs. A manager who once had his pitcher bunt with one out, two strikes, the bases loaded and Martin Prado on deck.
