The Bunt Tourney is almost at the Sweet 16 (h/t Carrie Muskat).
Nick Struck vs Edwin Jackson
Shawn Camp vs Casey Coleman
David DeJesus vs Darwin Barney
Starlin Castro vs Rafael Lopez
Here’s the players who have advanced so far:
Anthony Rizzo vs. Logan Watkins
Brent Lillibridge vs Michael Brenly
Edwin Maysonet vs Andy Lane (bullpen catcher)
Chris Rusin vs. Tim Buss (strength coach)
Jeff Samardzija vs Blake Parker
Travis Wood vs Nate Halm (video guy)
Dave DeJesus is (I believe) the defending champion. That guy should just bunt all the time!

I was wondering who the hell Nate Halm was. I think I have him in the contest.

Snake Oil Salesman Theo Epstein is ruining the team by forcing DeJesus to bat leadoff, instead of batting second where he can better utilize his moving runners over abilities.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CASTRO’S TURN SINCE HE’S INJURED???>>?

Were the Cubs actually better at bunting last season? I’d hate to think that this bunt tournament is meaningless.

Still alive with a bullpen catcher!

I’m still in it! I think. Maybe DeJesus broke Castro so he would be sure to win.

Unless its a lefty pitcher, I hope to never see Rizzo bunt for real.

Theo is ruining this team by not getting 100s of hours of video on bunting to help players improve their technique because he let the video guy participate.

If the video guy wins, do we just destroy the franchise right then and there?

No one would convict us, because there would be no visual evidence that we are the perps.
