Bassitt had 96 pitches. I can see pulling him there. Using Bass was dumb

They'd already used several of their good relievers over the last couple of days. Romano and Swanson are out after pitching twice in the series and seemingly Pop is out too after they yanked him from his warm-ups.

If they were saving Garcia for the 9th then Bass sort of by default becomes the next highest man on the reliever totem pole.

Bunts are stupid. Bunts are stupid. Repeat after me: bunts are stupid.

I could count on one hand the number of situations in which bunting is an acceptable strategy. Hell, I could probably still count on one hand even if I'd lost a couple fingers in a lawnmower accident.

Dude on 2nd isn't on that list.

Pop was throwing while Garica was pitching. Could have used Mayza too.

Bass has been awful this year.
