Football has evolved in this same exact way as baseball has. Basketball, too.
So the comparison is pretty good?
Going for it on 4th down compared to a field goal now compared to 20 years ago is pretty darn close to bunting over runners now compared to 20 years ago. It’s based on actual stats but also the better coaches know game flow is more important.
There is no winner in conversations like this. It’s still gut calls by the coach to create seperation from the opposing team.

Lol you probably think there are people that regularly beat the house at a casino too, huh?
Let me guess, they just have “it”?

Just because you keep saying it doesn’t make it true.

Worse hitters and less opportunities. Any other brain busters?
So in your scenario how would they have busted it open with worse hitters coming up? Or was your only hope Dickinson?

Sorry for not living on TD I guess. I wasn’t weighing in on the bunting debate.

Thank goodness we have actual, knowledgeable coaches, and message board posters like yourself aren't calling the shots.

This makes no sense, they didn't have a big inning. Giving away one out didn't stop your alleged big inning from happening.

I'm glad you believe that. I'd be worried if an actual Rantard like yourself agreed with my takes.

O Lester. You never change. You throw so much bs when you have nothing left in a discussion. What the hell does the casino have to do with the price of tea in China. Be you man. Always.

Because your top coaches do it makes it interesting. Like I said, there is no winning a side of this.

We've had no big innings this weekend

Because we turned our 5 hole hitter into a pitcher midway through the game with runners on first and second and no outs

And if we let him swing away, maybe he just pops out and we get nothing out of that inning. Maybe he hits into a double play.

Our expected runs from the inning went DOWN because of the sacrifice.
Your possibility exists for the bunt call as well. He could pop it up to the catcher. He could catch it hard and the pitcher gets the lead runner or worse double play. The guy bats over .350 and has an ops over 1.000. It was a dumb decision to do that early in the game with that hitter.

Jay has already stated that they're going to try to manufacture runs with small ball this year when they have to, honestly you might as well get used to it.
In games like today and yesterday, a single run on the board is far more valuable than the dream of some "possible big inning."

I’m trying to educate you with the most basic examples I can think of & you still can’t connect the dots.
You think the result of each decision is inconsequential because the only thing that matters is the coaches gut, when the results can and have been quantified. It’s hard to put into words how ignorant you sound right now.
Do you think the whole wide world of baseball just decided to stop bunting all of a sudden?
