Buntingvus dying? If so it's because small ball is hard to do and folks want to wait for the three run homer. Put guys in scoring position which happened. I dint care about this slump excuse. Everyone slumps and can breakout

No, it's dying because it is a very flawed strategy that mathematically makes no sense.

Bunting is dying because giving outs away if f***ing stupid outside of very select scenarios. But hey armchair manager, you know better than all of us and 29 major league managers.

Can't agree with that reasoning. Bunting is a valid and effective strategy. We had one out and two runners in scoring position and our bug hitter up

There are certain situations where it is smart to bunt. 0-0 game in the 7th inning when your bullpen has been hot trash against a pitcher who has struggled the 3rd time through a line up with your 3 hole and most consistent hitter all year up is the exact time not to do it. Was a garbage call

Same here. We are use to watching station to station baseball though. BTW one of the best bunters in the NL is Zack Grienke.
