Bunting is dumb. Don’t tell that to the boomer contingent of the board though.

I mean he tried to bunt a ball at his ankles that would’ve been ball 4 and they couldn’t walk both.

You’re also assuming they get tre out who has gone yard twice today.

Good strategy, didn’t work outZ

Counting on Morgan to get a base hit there.

Which given the game he's had there's an argument for.

Still wouldn't have done it.

Bunting ball 4 in the dirt the pitch before the bunt was really bad

I get the call, but he chased ball 4 into the ground. The batter has to be smart there...

For a team that doesn’t do it enough let the guys hit the damn ball

Exactly, if he doesn’t try and bunt obvious ball 4 they can’t walk both crews and white.

Terrible strategy - have a better chance of dugas hitting a home run than that small ball bull shite working

If that’s what you do… do it …. We don’t do that. We play for 3 - run home run


Stupidity at its finest - this coach is being a moron today

Bunting after a 4 pitch leadoff walk is retarded

Bunting after 7 straight balls is doubly retarded. The guy you asked to bunt chased ball 4 twice.

If you draw the walk there you have runners 1st and 2nd with no outs.

Tre moves them over and they walk Crews.

Tanks has the bases loaded with 1 out.

It's not a hard call to make. Jay blew the shite out of that. This isn't Monday morning quarterbacking. I said this right after the leadoff walk.

Bunting is fine when you’re playing for 1 run. The problem is this team, including Nippolt can’t bunt for shite.

He tried to bunt ball 4 at his ankles and then did bunt ball 4 that should have hit him.
