For those Marlins fans that cringed at hot-hitting Gaby Sanchez bunting in the first inning last week in Baltimore and again on Monday, don't lambaste interim manager Edwin Rodriguez.
On both occasions Sanchez bunted on his own volition. He likely won't be doing it again anytime soon. Rodriguez spoke with Sanchez before Tuesday's game and discouraged the practice.
"I don't like that play," Rodriguez said. "He's not a normal second hitter … I said, 'Listen, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but to be honest I don't like to take the bat away from you. You can hit a double.' I don't like that play. I want him to be a little more aggressive."
