So many times we waste lead-off doubles. It was impressive to see them bunt the runner to 3rd, then sac-fly him in
Bunting a runner over 1 base, who is already in scoring position, isn't usually a good idea. Outs are too valuable in most situations for it to make sense. It will lead to less runs overall.

Jump had 9 Ks. Herring struck out all 3 in the 9th. Your statement is extremely wrong.

It’s the triple option of baseball. Old school. Tough and hard to defend.

Runner on 2nd no outs and anyone 6-9 in the lineup would be bunting for me. Every time. I know analytics disagrees with me. Analytics also is based off of MLB baseball and the unpredictability of college third basemen counters what the analytics say in my opinion.
Maybe not at the highest level where the talent is higher but in the lower levels like Wofford? Yea it’s a great way to win a lot of games.

It's pretty much necessary when you have inferior talent.

Tell that to UCLA.
But Wofford isn’t out there trying to win a CWS. They just made a regional for the 2nd time in the history of their school. That’s a big deal for them.
Making a bowl game is a big deal for the service academies.
Very few schools have the mentality of Natty or Bust like LSU.

That’s fantastic. They also never strike out. Nothing but respect.

It's also a great way to keep a better team, who is having a bad day hitting, in the game.... Like they did today.
Bunting a runner from second to third is never an option for me. You can do so many things to get that runner to third. I'm not just freely giving up an out to do it.

UCLA has had absolute top notch pitching. Wofford does not. Kentucky tried it and got nowhere. Now the started mixing it in, and they are magically having better success. I'm not saying never ever bunt. Bunt almost never bunt.

Never strike out. Jump had at least 9

Without small ball would Wofford ever had a lead today?
It’s not just bunting. Every only wants to talk about bunting when any one mentions small ball. It’s stealing bases. Working counts. Ground balls.
Without bunting and stealing bases Milam doesn’t even bat in the bottom of the 9th. The games over after the top of the inning.

Maybe they have a bigger lead. What if the next batter after the lead off double gets a hit? And then you score that run without giving up an out. You can't just play the game if, they only scored because they bunted. This is a team that hits over .300 so we can't just assume they won't hit.

But I'm specifically talking about bunting.

I'm not living in a fantasy world though where we can just make up what happens. I'm saying it's a bad move because it's been proven over and over again that it is. Look, tie game in the 7th or 8th, fine bunt. But just wanting to give yourself a 1-0 lead early in the game, whenever LSU can mash, you need more than that 1 run.

They play great fundamental baseball. Almost beat us with inferior talent.

Two things never mentioned on here the week leading up to the game when morons were bitching about Jump pitching
It was mentioned plenty, albeit not by those particular morons.
Bitching about the bitching is still bitching, desu.

This. And they did that when it was 0-0 early in the game no less. They played not to lose and didn’t play to win.
