Bunting after back to back walks to open the inning is the stupid. Make the pitcher throw strikes. Don’t give him an out when he can’t find the plate.

not a time to be situational in the 5th inning regardless. Dickinson is slugging like 1.132 through 4 games. Let him hit the ball out the infield somewhere
Nobody was really hitting the ball. It was a cold uncomfortable night and that’s why Jay did it. Why is this so hard to understand?

Just because you know what the reasoning was doesn’t make it not dumb.

There are multiple ways a runner gets to 3rd without bunting

So are double negatives in a sentence. He had statistical reasons on his side.he knows his team. He knows his players. He has played out that scenario for the player versus the pitcher.
It is like that dumbass chick that used to be the Advocate beat writer and her asking the same dumbass question on leaving g RISP. DO THE MATH.

An idiotic hunch that a good hitter will suck so bad because muh cold weather that you will intentionally give up an out and lower your expected runs is a dumb decision.

It's always funny to me when message board posters believe they're smarter than coaches who are literally paid millions of dollars to do what they do.
I understand you get someone like Les Miles sometimes who is so stubborn that literally everyone can see what the problem is, except him. That's really the exception to the rule though.
Never change, Rantards.

Which ways have a higher probability of succeeding and which the hitting team also has control of the situation? Statistically, you have a better chance of scoring a run with 1 out and a runner on 3rd than you do with a runner on 2nd with nobody out. And there are many more ways to score from 3rd base and 1 out than there are from 2nd base and no outs.

Meh, it’s situational for sure, but as a coach I firmly believe in using early season to run scenarios that may not make sense otherwise.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is practicing situational baseball to see how kids react.

LSU coach manufactures a run
Lester Earl "yeah but it's retarded because it totally hurt my feelings how they scored"
fricking idiot compared Garrett Nussmeier to Andrew Hatch like 2 weeks ago
Stop paying attention to this clown.
Hey Lester you should make more recruiting rankings that no one gives a frick about

This is the issue. You guys are in here just trying to score A run. ONE run. Les and the rest of us are trying to score runS, plural.
Outs are precious. You don’t give the other team any free ones when you don’t have to. And if the other team is willing to give you one, you take it. You think Omaha was pissed we were bunting there or thrilled to fricking death? Did their pitcher throw some wicked off speed pitch on the black or a fastball down the dick?

Runs were at a premium in that game, better to score one than none at all.

Fun fact - double negatives are grammatically incorrect only when used unintentionally. In this case, he used it correctly.

Controling the probability does not override the potential results of swinging away in that situation. Even with that said, 15% of sac bunts last year in the MLB resulted in a popup/SO/FC.
Swinging away is probably slightly more risky but the reward is much greater than giving up an out in that situation.
