Now, you're comparing Crede to someone who hasn't played in a MLB game in almost a year?  Not only that, Crede is the number 9 hitter, not the all-time franchise home run leader.  Crede definitely has been asked to bunt before, and I think he's done a pretty solid job in the past.

okay well someone who hasn't bunted in a while, and Thomas' name was the first I thought of.

Garcia, I'm sure he did right before the game.

 

Unreal. I'm sure Garcia spent hours before the game practicing the bunt. Crede practices bunting at least one time before each game. That's a lot more bunts practiced over the course of the season than before one game.

not hours, but at least a few, so he can get a feel for it so he won't just be closing his eyes and saying a little prayer while the ball is pitched.

Problem is, from all the reports I've heard from non-Sox observers.....Fields has looked awful in the minors.

 

 

I think you could say he is struggling at the plate... batting .213, but he is very young and not at all ready to advance. On a positive note he is pretty good in the field (no pun intended)

Bottom line is, if you aren't really a threat offensively (as Crede has consistantly proven over the years), you should be able to lay down a bunt. For me personally, I think that if you are a major leaguer, you should know how to bunt. Hell, you are tought how to do it in little league.

 

Now, I understand why certain hitters (power hitters) never do it, but still...

How old is Fields now? It's not like we're talking about a high school player advancing through the system. The problem is that QBs haven't had success making the adjustment over time.

That was exactly my point. If Cruddy can't hit, he had better make sure he can lay down a f***ing bunt. Otherwise, he is in the lineup for his defense alone.

And it's not like his defense is stellar. He f***s up a bit too much to be considered stellar defensively.

Bad time for Paulie to have a bad year:

 

 

What sucks with PK now is that he's gone from being a very tough out/professional hitter to being a dead-pull hitter who will get himself out just as much as the pitcher will.
