re: 100% of the time you safety squeeze in that situation

Heck, who knows, maybe the pitcher herp derps and throws it in the dugout and you have 2nd and 3rd no outs and Deichman up. Or, they get the runner out at at home and you have 1st and 2nd with one out and Deichman up. And they pitch around Dman. Loaded with Watson up.
Or maybe Duplantis pops it up and Kramer gets doubled up at third. Or maybe Duplantis bunts it back to the pitcher and Kramer is thrown out at the plate. It's not like the safety squeeze is automatic.

You think only a hit would score the runner?
YOU ARENT A REAL BASEBALL FAN. GTFO.

GFY, grounder is a DP ((see previous inning) and fly balls were weak/shallow all night (wind blowing in Mr baseball fricking genius).
Pressure on defense and tie the game. Bunt.

Well I know swinging away didnt work, lol. Seriously, greater than .650. What is Duplantis hitting?
Duplantis has 1 sacrifice bunt all season. He bats nearly .400 w RISP, is second on the team in RBIs, and has the second fewest Ks on the team. And you're saying a bunt is a higher percentage than a ground ball or fly ball to the outfield (or a hit)?

A double play would have scored him except for the most rare play in baseball. Did you watch the game?

DP scores the run unless you have another one in a million play which is highly unlikely

Get outta here with them facts.

Worst case is a pop up bunt.
Odds of a deep fly ball/high bouncer/hit vs odds of somewhat decent bunt.
I take the bunt.

May should learn to bunt first

The fact that some of you think a safety squeeze is a routine play just blows my mind. There's a reason you rarely see them called and coaches have runners on third with fewer than 2 outs all the time in close games. It's just not a high percentage play. It takes a good bunter with a perfect bunt and good base running to read the ball off the bat. Not sure what you've seen out of our team to think that was the right call

Yay, and no one on with Deichman up. I have a runner in scoring position with one out.
Posted on 6/28/17 at 12:22 am to geauxturbo
Worst case is pop up bunt, bunt hard at pitcher, fouling off two bunts then K. Fouling off two bunts then grounder at pitcher or pop up to infield.
Posted on 6/28/17 at 12:25 am to Marlo Stanfield
Yup
Tie up the game and keep pressure on them

Thats worst caseS. Swinging away worst cases
Line drive to infield
Shallow fly
Foul fly
Hard grounder to anyone can go home or DP
Or what happened...strike out which is the absolute worst.

How do u find the subjects you posted on here? Newby

Newby? I've been on here since 05. My original screen name was retired by me long long ago.

You can still strike out after a bunt call. Bad things happen. You saw the frickin stats and you're still acting stupid.
Posted on 6/28/17 at 12:30 am to geauxturbo
I hope you realize that most plays in baseball are low percentage plays, but you make the call that has the highest chance of success. You don't ask a guy who has 1 sac bunt on the season that also has over 60 RBIs to do something he's not been asked to do all season. Just because the play didn't work doesn't mean it was the wrong call.

A line drive isn't going to typically happen when you are trying to lift the ball to the outfield.

I like my odds with the bunt in THAT situation, late after a shitty call the inning before.
Sure. In fact, I was almost expecting Dups to square up there. But Peterson even said before the at-bat that we had our choice of what we wanted to do, which is absolutely true. What he didn't say was we had to 100% bunt in that situation.
I'm just saying that hindsight is real convenient after we know the ultimate decision didn't work out.
