Stop bunting John! Today is a slugfest!

Don't give away outs.

Bump. Our "Sunday" pitching is terrible. We gave away three outs today via the bunt in a damn slugfest. Good weekend but we should have swept these guys.

Bump. Our "Sunday" pitching is terrible. .

Sunday is the equivalent of the midweek bullpen merry-go-round. Pitchers were in trouble early in the game and they pulled them. Late in the game when the pitchers were in dire straits, they said 17 it.

Someone needs to show Cohen this. Hasn't been updated since 2012, but I can guarantee you the results are the same. Bunting is simply NOT the percentage play in most situations. It can be if you've got a terrible hitter at the plate, but if you've got a terrible hitter at the plate, you need to look at your lineups and/or recruiting. He shouldn't be in the game in the first place unless he's an incredible fielding SS or C.
