They used it as a chance to pad their total for the year and help with their Avg., instead of moving the runners along.<br />In other words, he played the game the right way...to win!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-40739228649240199712016-04-13T09:29:38.634-04:002016-04-13T09:29:38.634-04:00Reed to you think Didi did that on his own or was ...Reed to you think Didi did that on his own or was given the sign from Girardi?Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-30309060590160235662016-04-13T00:18:57.292-04:002016-04-13T00:18:57.292-04:00Didi put down a good bunt in the 7th inning moving...Didi put down a good bunt in the 7th inning moving two men into scoring position and Ells knocked in one of the winning runs.<br />Back a few years that would never happen, because everyone wants to be the hero or get a hit (not wasting a chance to get a hit) not a bunt.<br />I like players that do whatever it takes to win the game, the numbers will come plus the player will be much more valuable to the team and will be paid for helping to win games...winning is why they play the games, not to make one a star!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
