Ok then Rick When they are good, if Moncada is anywhere near where he is supposed to be, having him bunt would be the last thing on anyone's mind.

beautox Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 might need to start a gofund me for a sign by the ball park similar to the bulls fans that says no bunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 02:52 PM) makes no f***ing sense. Living in the liveliest of live ball eras; here is a bight f***ing idea lets do everything that is the converse of that... It's like the Bulls and their idea that a poor shooting team could be really good. Why you are making Yoan Moncada give up an AB is beyond me.

It can be in certain circumstances. Not every single time we get a base runner like Rick seems to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not disagree. There is some rationale in having guys bunt but not RBI guys IMO. The team needs to get good so in the meantime it's going to be a bit ugly to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) It can be in certain circumstances. Not every single time we get a base runner like Rick seems to believe They're using the "it's practicing under game circumstances" as an excuse. The problem continues to be that if there are any circumstances where we want Moncada sacrificing, EVER, then we have failed in his player development.

Not every single time we get a base runner like Rick seems to believe The only guys I ever want bunting are pitchers or guys who hit like pitchers. Hopefully Moncada can hit better than a pitcher, and if he can then I don't want him ever bunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I hate the bunt with a passion, but if your manager is going to be an idiot about it, why wasn't Yoan practicing that in the minors? I'm sure the great Buddy Bell must have forgot to get things aligned. Edited July 24, 2017 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Btw, I disagree with wanting to see Saladino more at 3rd. I don't know that Davidson ever will turn into the player he could have become, but we need to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
