Matt Shaw explains his thought process during his 10th-inning bunt attempt:

“Borderline spot”

If he gets the bunt down they walk off on a sac fly.

This guy has no business on the playoff roster. Hes gone will be traded soon. Good riddance.

This guy is fucking terrible

He’s literally taking no ownership.

Matty is a great kid. 99 out of 100 times, he’s bringing that run home—hit, sac fly, walk, whatever it takes. Bunting is HARD, especially at that level, and the @Cubs don’t ask these guys to do it often. Don’t put this one on Matty’s shoulders. Kid gave it his best. It didn’t work out. That’s baseball. And you know what? There’s always tomorrow. Go get ’em, kid! And remember what I told you: #BELIEVE 💫 in yourself—and remind the Fellas to believe in themselves too. We’ll #SeeYouInOctober. 🐻⚾️💙❤️ #cubs

Guy was nowhere near the zone on any of those pitches. Matt Shaw sucks

A couple of things: 1) You shouldn’t ever have the mindset of “bunt, regardless of where the pitch is”. But *especially* when the RP is having trouble locating. 2) It wasn’t a “borderline” pitch. It was nearly a foot above the zone. Just say you made a mistake & learn from it.

Watch all postgame interviews ⤵️

Probably one of the shittest bunts ive ever seen. God I hate this dude, he blows

All the “Matt Shaw sucks” crowd need to leave thier distorted politics at the door. The dude was a gold glove finalist as a rookie, he hit for power and had clutch moments at the same time. usually a spot of hope and praise. You people are sick, twisted and disgusting

The process is: He doesn’t know how to bunt.

Matt Shaw for whatever reason

The Cubs could have finished it in the 9th inning and Suzuki messed it with a pop up. This is not all on Shaw …

Matt Shaw should just stick to politics. Baseball isn’t his thing

You sucked. And you’ve sucked for a couple weeks now

Shaw has been expendable ever since Bregman and Hoerner signed long term contracts. Ramirez has emerged this season makes him more expendable. He's an offensive liability. He doesn't look natural in the outfield. He'll be traded in the offseason for pitching.

Can this clown be off the team already

Not kind of… sad. 3 straight innings the best offense in the MLB need 1 freaking big hit and NADA… don’t blame the pen! It’s called choke!

You "catch" the ball with the barrel. period

Are there any hate-rallies with pyrotechnics scheduled in the near future? That'd get rid of him for a bit...

and while you all wanna blame this on shaw, what about the other 9 guys who couldn't get a hit before shaw came up! Fact is if this team scores less than 5 runs they dont win! 27-61 record!

Maybe he needs to leave the team for a few days

"You go up there trying to bunt everything." Umm...that's a new one.

how many games we gonna lose bc u can’t lay down a bunt bro?

It's unfortunate, but this interview shows his baseball intelligence. It also proves that he hasn't developed mature play yet...

its okay Matt no one can hit much less bunt maybe study Miami they can

The game was over when he popped that up

Dumb fuck just loves to piss peoples money away he will get his karma …

It's too bad he's not as good at catching a pitch with a bunt as his friend Charlie Kirk was at catching a bullet.

The pitcher was not even close to the strike zone. Why are you still trying to bunt? Take a walk and the game would have been over on the next AB

He cost us the game.

Maybe if he focused on learning the strike zone, instead of politics in his off season maybe this wouldn't have happened.
