He's thinking he doesn't trust his bullpen against the Rockies top of the order. Not sure why anybody would.
But why not bunt. Just tell Sanchez to bunt but don't run to 1st if you are worried about him pulling something. I completely share his fear of the bullpen.
Cecil will be back tomorrow (likely) and Morales is on his way at least. I'm excited to have Morales to pitch to lefties. Hopefully Cecil is actually healthy and not coming back because the bullpen sucks.
I'm assuming from a luck perspective he thinks it's all used up in the 1st inning when Sanchez didn't get hurt running over Anderson. All they need is for him to lay down a bad bunt or take a ball of the hand...
