I want to murder the guy who invented bunting

6/9/2013 4:52:57 PM

More bunting from a guy swinging the bat well. WHY?

6/9/2013 4:53:04 PM

all we do is play small ball

6/9/2013 4:53:33 PM

It's been said before, this is too frequent and with batters who have enough skill to be swinging away.

6/9/2013 4:54:39 PM

small ball got us here, why stop now?

6/9/2013 4:56:10 PM

we would have lost last night without bunting. quit bitching.

6/9/2013 4:56:17 PM

Just think how close we would be to Rice's bullpen right now if we handn't given their pitcher 3 free outs

6/9/2013 4:56:48 PM

Bunting for a run in the 9th is different than the 2nd and 3rd innings.

6/9/2013 4:57:11 PM

White Sox won the '05 World Series with bunting and stolen bases

apples to apples

6/9/2013 4:59:08 PM

also, bunting with your 7-9: I'm fine in most situtations
bunting your 1-4: There has to be a damn good reason to give up outs with the heart of your lineup.

6/9/2013 4:59:15 PM

yea Fincher != Ratledge

6/9/2013 5:00:21 PM

^^Outside of Turner, the heart of our lineup isn't significantly better than the bottom

You don't get this far without players who get on base. You don't get on base bunting twice in the first 3 innings.

6/9/2013 5:01:06 PM

maybe our batters would look better if they werent bunting in half their ABs

austin is our 3 hitter and i swear he gets 2 ABs a game

6/9/2013 5:01:52 PM

generous call there

6/9/2013 5:08:56 PM

Jernigan not looking too bad (not great, but not bad)

[Edited on June 9, 2013 at 5:09 PM. Reason : -]

6/9/2013 5:08:57 PM

seriously, you made 5 throws to first in that at bat to hold a runner that doesn't fucking matter. What the hell?

6/9/2013 5:09:13 PM

yea, he's settled down a bit

although that last strike was a bit outside

[Edited on June 9, 2013 at 5:10 PM. Reason : fuck me]

6/9/2013 5:09:35 PM

this is the second time now these announcers have repeated a canned story

it's only the 4th inning

6/9/2013 5:12:29 PM

wtg ESPN with the wrong super regional titles

6/9/2013 5:13:18 PM

hey, now's a good time to bunt, Avent, right?

6/9/2013 5:16:28 PM

damnit

poopitalized

6/9/2013 5:18:37 PM

no it's a good time to ground out ... which is why we bunt so much

6/9/2013 5:18:45 PM

woohoo

6/9/2013 5:27:37 PM

PITCH TO THE FUCKING PLATE WITH TWO FUCKING OUTS, MORON

6/9/2013 5:27:40 PM

our pitchers suck at holding guys on but they really have the pickoff figured out

6/9/2013 5:28:28 PM

^^ lol

here comes ncstatetardke to say "gosh, it worked that time, we should always do it, hyucl!"

6/9/2013 5:29:16 PM

PITCH TO THE PLATE, COLIN MORANS

6/9/2013 5:29:37 PM

hey, let's have our pitcher throw to 1st 50 times when he doesn't need to, thereby wasting 50 decent pitches he could have made to the plate to get batters out.

6/9/2013 5:30:29 PM

Hyucl!

6/9/2013 5:30:43 PM

I mean, if you like wasting your pitcher's arm for no benefit, then be my guest. it's kind of like bunting with runners at 1st and second, no outs, in the top of the second inning.

6/9/2013 5:31:53 PM

Throwing over is usually the catcher's call, isn't it?

6/9/2013 5:33:56 PM

comes from the dugout

6/9/2013 5:34:58 PM

we sure this isn't IC with all the bitching and whining?

6/9/2013 5:35:00 PM

is TWW characterized by some other behavior?

6/9/2013 5:35:47 PM

no, but it sure is a bit like IC with dumbasses like ncstatetardke who don't know a damned thing about the game

6/9/2013 5:36:09 PM

Clyde at 3rd is a sieve...

6/9/2013 5:37:53 PM

welp, got a guy on 1st, time to bunt

6/9/2013 5:47:27 PM

it's the 6th inning. are we allowed to bunt yet?

6/9/2013 5:48:10 PM

I'd rather wait around for one of those three-run homers we're so adept at hitting.

6/9/2013 5:49:22 PM

^^^a bunt would have gotten him over to second instead of a fly out at least

[Edited on June 9, 2013 at 5:49 PM. Reason : .]

6/9/2013 5:49:31 PM

Hitting is for pussies. Real men bunt.

6/9/2013 5:50:28 PM

there's the bunt

bunting is a horrible experience, tons of ways it can go wrong and half of them end with you getting hit.

fucking show bunt there put him in a hole

6/9/2013 5:52:12 PM

89 pitches now with him only pitching 5 innings

imagine how many he'd have if we didnt give him one for free
