2019 Series #39 | Indians vs. Red Sox | August 12th, 13th, and 14th

[DJTJ]

This shit is a fucking joke.

Flat out; the answer is not fucking bunt.

 

[Joe Charboneau]

I still dont like Perez bunting there with this nasty lefty in here and Kipnis coming up......aaand he strikes out. Just too much damn bunting in this game.

Tom Hamilton continues to say most of these bunts are up to the guys at the plate. It’s their decision. Tito tells them to get the runner over however they feel most comfortable. If it’s by bunt...go ahead. If the hitter feels more comfortable hitting one in the air to right...by all means. Just get them over

So he’s telling them not to try to get a hit with a runner in scoring position?

 

[Soar]

I don't mind bunting but we do it in such stupid situations.

Yesterday we bunted in front of Plawecki.

Today we have Perez bunt when we have a flamethrowing lefty on the mound and Kipnis up next. Just stupid.

 

[Real Deal]

Yeah, makes total sense to give up a free out only to put pressure on a LH vs LH situation. Roberto, you're a RH swinging a good bat, numbers suggest you try your fucking hardest.

Would love to know percentage success rate for bunts on this team and how it stacks up to their normal ABs

 

[MGMT]

At times it just feels hopeless with RISP; I’m aware this comment is just recency bias.

He's telling them which side of the field to hit the ball.

Not uncommon at all.

 

[Couch]

Pheeeew

 

[redscoon]

Wow. Great grab, Naq.

 

[col63onel]

He's telling them which side of the field to hit the ball.

Not uncommon at all.

Except a hit to the outfield most likely scores a run.

 

[Soar]

This is all setting up nicely for a Hand blown save due to overwork.

 

[redscoon]

He's telling them which side of the field to hit the ball.

Not uncommon at all.

He's telling them to bunt without explicitly saying bunt. He had a presser a few days ago where he said he told the batter, whatever happens, that runner has to be at 3rd.

 

[Ohio]

Yeah, this bunting is getting really fucking stupid. I believe there is a time and place for it but we do it regardless of circumstance and it's fucking idiocy.

 

[bboy]

anyone really trust our bullpen come playoff time?...dont care what the numbers say...they seem sort of shaky but we'll see
