Terrible...the lost art of sacrifice bunting, hard to do against a fastball pitcher.

 

And Rollins was 5 for 9 against LHP this year.

 

Oh, well.

Bunting is mostly going away because bunting is generally pretty dumb.

Unless you're a pitcher at the plate, you should pretty much never bunt.

Agreed 900%.

 

Maybe if you're trying to win in the bottom of the ninth and you have a runner on. I dunno, even then a single gets runners moving.

Well, bunting is not generally pretty dumb. It can actually be extremely effective, when executed well. It's just that generally most situations don't call for players to bunt. When you are talking about the White Sox, yes bunting is generally pretty dumb because most of them can't really bunt.

White Sox could not have tried any harder to help the Rangers escape this inning.

Tigers lose in the bottom of the 9th at Washington, now 3 games under .500 and absolutely reeling.

I didn't see it to begin with. Their pitching sucks and they're declining vets are just that. That team just isn't very good.

Bunting is giving away outs. You should never give away outs.
