FWIW, even if he had bunted Stevie last night, Chinea struck out after him.

They would've probably walked Chinea.

Good, you might finally learn something useful, but what would knowledgeable fans get out of a baseball discussion with you?

But understand you are choosing the play that has a less likely chance of scoring, unless you have a very poor hitter at the plate
Oh my, now we have to worry about situations in baseball, there are factors that influence?
A dude is batting .252 yet is 6 for his last 7. Do you bunt him for sure? What about the .350 hitter that is 1 for 11. Do you let him swing away. What if it is runner on first and second, no out, lefty v lefty?
Does the sliderule have anything for this kinda shite right here

Admittedly I haven't read the entire 9 page thread so this may have been covered
You can't make a blanket statement saying it is always a bad call to sac bunt based on the percentages you posted.
If you have runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and the 9 hole hitter up, do you honestly think it is not a good idea to bunt the runners over and give the lead off hitter a chance to put one in play?

I hate you

OK, I have no idea what we are discussing anymore.

No, it doesn't. I love how these morons that know nothing about baseball start these threads with their own interpretation of bullshite statistics and act like anyone that disagrees is stupid. Here's one: baseball's been around since the 1800's and MLB managers are a hell of a lot smarter and more knowledgeable about the game than you, if bunting didn't work it would've died out a long time ago.
Leave it to a rantard to think he knows more than Bobby Valentine and Joe Torre, I'm sure those guys have looked at a stat or two in their day too, dumbass. I'll trust their interpretation over yours

I'd like to test wits with Bobby Valentine. His record doesn't impress me.

You feel better now??
I don't like giving up 33% of my outs in a inning on a play that is ripe with chances for failure for any number of reasons, but that's just me. I know the bunt is used with success on occasion. I will ride with this staffs call due to their knowing the players the best and their elite success.

You said the opposite . I am not going to argue this anymore. If you execute you score , if you don't , you don't. It's commone sense. I am not a CPM fan, I am speaking purely off of execution. Bunts do work.
