Sorry. You have question a coach who makes that call.

A team who can’t bunt with a slow runner and you call a safety squeeze?

They are also struggling to get runners in from third with less than 2 outs so I don’t blame the coach for trying something different.

Right call, terrible execution, both on the bunt and on the slide home.

More than that - a coaching staff that has refused to bunt for months, then all of a sudden wants some of his struggling hitters to somehow know how to bunt in big scenarios.

Guy was blocking the plate before he had the ball. That play should have been appealed. It may have been overturned

You can’t bunt in to the pitcher if you want that play to work.

The call wasn’t terrible. You can’t bunt it right back to the pitcher on a safety squeeze. If it would have been executed properly the call would be getting praised.

You wouldn’t have made this post if they scored, so you’re just playing the result.

A safety squeeze isn’t suppose to be bunted back to the pitcher. It should be put down the opposite side the pitcher falls off.

That’s what we were discussing. Can the catcher block the plate like that?

Not without the ball in his possession when the runner is making contact with the slide.

Right call


To each his own but I don’t see how a bunt with runners on the corners and one out is the right call. Especially considering who was hitting and who was on 3rd.
