And, I mean, look, does he wear it at 1% at the very least because it wasn't a

very good bunt.

I mean, maybe a little.

Well, and on top of that, that aside, and again, I'm not ignoring it because, again, I did not like that decision by John Schneider.

I mean, you have, what was it?

I guess it was, yeah, bases loaded with Cruz on the mound and Charles McAdoo, who I think I've generally liked in a very, very small sample size.

McAdoo comes up to the plate.

Even with decisions they've made with guys in terms of who's getting a rest day, who's not,

It's a little maybe like a scene, I don't know, could have been an Alondra Kirk hitting in that, pinch hitting in that situation.

I mean, maybe Vladdy certainly as well, but given that Vladdy barely moved off the end of the bench and was in his street clothes, quote-unquote street clothes, in his hoodie for most of today's game, I'm guessing he was just off today.

He was just like down.

I think that's fair to assume.

Right, and so if that's the case, then I'll put that aside for now.

But, I mean, I get...

I mean, if he's healthy to come off the IL, I feel like he's healthy enough to pinch it late in the ballgame.

Maybe that's less egregious for me than asking Ernie Clement, who has statistically been one of your best hitters this year, to bunt.

But still, I think those are the two points of this ballgame.

Late in the ballgame, outside of Andres Jimenez, what was it, grounding out with the bases loaded and then striking out with two on.

Outside of that, I think those are the two conscious decisions by John Schneider that I think most will have issue with.

Before we go to the phones, I did want to get to perhaps the lone positive, maybe one of two, if one is an Okamoto home run.
