What's the likelihood that Raph even gets a bunt down?

About the same as GIDP

It should be around 70% and if not that's sad. Every player should be able to get a bunt down. It's not hard.

3-5 in sac bunts/attempts.
EDIT: Sorry, that stat is wrong. He had none.

Even if he pops out, or strikes out, we still have a base-runner with 1 out.
Assuming everything else holds as it did (though, it wouldn't have). Foster walks, and Moore drives in the tying run.

Better than a double play

Your all American senior left fielder can't execute a sac bunt?
Seriously? Better be upwards of 80%

Bunting is part of a baseball. You practice it all summer and fall long.
And the odds of hitting into a DP with Raph DP Rhymes AB is much higher.

This. It's just really not that hard.

Bunting is a fricking part of a round of BP everyday period

Bingo we have a winner. if you can control the bat you can bunt. If Rhymes can hit and run he should be able to bunt, they have been taught to bunt since 9 yrs old.

He hasn't laid down a bunt all year successfully. Not having him try was a terrible coaching call. But, the bigger problem is that it appears our head coach doesn't believe bunting is a legitimate part of baseball. He doesn't call for it nearly enough (especially with a dominant pitcher like Nola). And, our players suck at bunting. Presumably because our coach doesn't care for it.

and if he didn't and struck out, there was only a walk and a single after him??????

Another thing to take into consideration....who's to say he doesn't get the count to 3-0 and make the guy throw 3 strikes?
Posted on 6/16/13 at 11:08 pm to hashtag
No way to tell but I do know Raph has hit in to a shitload of DPs.

Actually it was more likely he would hit into a dbl play. I really think he has some kind of record hitting into dbl plays.

the problem is sac bunting has been a big problem for LSU for several seasons... how many times this season alone has the runner at 2nd been thrown out... or the batter somehow got to 2 strikes?
this isn't just a Rhymes thing... it's a whole team problem... however they coach sac bunting needs to be overhauled going into the future
ETA: obviously sac bunting was the right call there... but I believe the UCLA 3B was playing up for the bunt... a foot more towards 2nd base and that's a base hit into LF

This isn't batting practice or a homerun derby. It's baseball. Maybe he should stop crying about things he can't control and teach his players how to play every phase of the game well.
