Servais: please watch this short video

Please watch and discuss. How could they play a top bunter like this on D with the bases loaded?

Servais and Acta are the veteran coaches/leaders on this team. Servais lasted 2 seconds in the league and Acta never even made it lol. Hire Ron Washington or any other coach who has playoff experience.

On Servais's defense, they were playing for a double play there. Give up a run for 2 outs. I am not a Servais fan by the way. Gilbert blew this play.

Yep. I was going to say this when I saw this thread yesterday, but figured why bother.

Any manager in baseball would happily trade a run for 2 outs in a bases loaded no outs situation. Which is exactly what they were trying to do there.

Funny thing is, if the D had been playing in (for the bunt), and the batter hit it through the infield for a base hit, the same people that are blasting him for playing for the double play would be blasting him for not playing for the double play.
