The only thing it does is make your team less likely to score. Edited May 25, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I hadn't really looked at this Twins roster before tonight, but it is seriously the scrubbiest looking thing I've ever seen. How did they compile this lucky shit into the best team in baseball a third of the way through??? Before this year, I would have ignored Kepler, Odorizzi, Perez, Parker, Harper, Buxton, Schoop, Cron, and probably even Polanco. I would have actively wanted Rosario and Berrios, but they're getting all-star performances out of every one of these guys. And their manager is rookie-leader-but-bigtime-bust Rocco Baldelli? WTF. If Hahn gets one tenth of the return for initial expectations that the Twins have gotten so far this year, we'll win the World Series every single year from 2020-2026.

Chisox378 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Ozzie bunted all the time in 2005 and we won the World Series. You cats are lucky I'm not the manager, Id be bunting constantly. I play Simulation Baseball sometimes and I constantly bunt. It's the best play in the game. Sacrificing yourself for the team. Small ball. Smart Ball.
