In a park where runs are at a premium, bunting Trey was absolutely the right call


Bunting, in a vacuum, is not a bad call in that situation. But it was a bad call with the variables in THAT situation.

LSU doesn't bunt. It's not their MO/game plan. Second, Morgan as been one of your best hitters in the CWS. Maybe hit hits into a DP. Maybe he strikes out. But I'll play the odds and take my chances with him swinging the bat vs. taking it out of his hands, asking him to do something he rarely does only to then rely on guys who have been lesser hitters in the CWS (really just Dugas compared to Morgan) to come through behind him.

Side question:

Is the NCAA finally going to Free Will Wade today?
