Like I’m going to share this post on LinkedIn. (dying laughing)
If we win one tomorrow, that’s called a winning streak.
@ Mercurial Outfielder:
Then you can say fuck, shit, bitch, whatever you want.
@ Suburban kid:
But you are going to forward it to all of your contacts, right?
@ mb21:
Cock. Balls.

Baez is 0-1 with a walk. Vitters has a home run.

That OPS isn’t going to get to .770 by itself.
@ mb21:
Vitters’ homer came off of Jonathan Sanchez.
More intriguing is that Baez… walked tonight. That would make his 2nd professional walk.
@ Russ Millard:
He’s walked two fewer times than Castro, then.
@ Mercurial Outfielder:
They never did catch that anthrax guy
@ Russ Millard:
You’ve mistaken my meaning. Baez and Castro have a very similar skill set (Baez has a bit more power), and so long as he makes contact at a similar rate to Castro, if we’re not worried about the walks (and few of us seem to be) with Starlin, then we shouldn’t be too much more worried about them with Baez.
1.) Wind blowing out
2.) Hitting in prime RBI spot in lineup
3.) Bunt
4.) ???????
5.) PROFIT
@ Mercurial Outfielder:
The manager has pounded into their heads from day one: bunting = winning.
@ josh:
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.
@ Mercurial Outfielder:
Nothing wrong with bunting for a hit (as Mather was doing, despite being credited with a sac). The fact that he’s in an “RBI spot in [the] lineup” is irrelevant.
I don’t have a problem bunting for a hit either. Especially is the infield is playing back.
I mean, it’s one thing to dislike bunting for aesthetic reasons, but calling it out as foolish or poor strategy requires some rigorous analysis.

I don’t know about art but I know what I like.
@ ACT:
If the infield isn’t prepared for the bunt then I think it’s a good play unless the batter is super slow. In that case there would need to be a shift on. I don’t particularly care about who is in a so-called RBI spot. The goal is to not make an out and if the defense is back then there’s probably a better chance of him reaching safely on a bunt than swinging away.
