stop bunting

[Guest]

Haha.

[Rizzo Smash]

That's why we're bunting guys!

[XZero771679666304]

Good [expletive] god with all the bunting

[bcl412]

Our dumb bunts are making them make dumb plays. Whatever I guess.

[rawaction]

What the hell is this game?

That's the problem. The [expletive] meatballs, and the buffoonish clowns of the media are going to use those errors as proof that bunting works.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is an organization that provides every player with detailed scouting packets before every game.

 

If they didn't like all the bunting, Sveum would know about it.

[SouthSideRyan]

Silly Brenly, Yadier doesn't make errors.

So Dale is going rogue.

[ctcf]

So looking at the #'s did Camp suddenly turn into a halfway decent reliever or something?

[Ballgame64]

Was that the 4th strikeout with a runner on third with less than 2 outs? Terrible.

[Smack]

Most bunt attempts ever.

he was decent in toronto for awhile.

If it makes you guys feel better re: the front office and bunts...

 

Sacrifice bunts:

 

Boston

2011: 30/30 teams

2010: 29/30 teams

 

San Diego:

2011: 16/30 teams (but 16/16 in the NL)

2010: OK well San Diego finished 2nd in the majors but I think Hoyers footprint was only really beginning to be felt last year

[SouthSideRyan]

Something has to be wrong with your numbers. There's no way every team with a DH had more SH than the 16 without one.

[Guest]

Dolis with the rare strikeout.

I think you are confused...other way around. Every team except for 1 (KC) above SD is an NL team. San Diego had the least number of sacrifice bunts in the NL. Every team below them was an AL team.

 

 

Edit: Wait I counted wrong. San Diego was 16th/30 but 15/16 in the NL. Arizona was behind them. Sorry about that, but I still think you had it backwards.

To be honest I would rather that we lose this game.

[Guest]

Another strikeout and the CUBS WIN!!

[TruffleShuffle]

in san diego i can understand it because they have generally had good pitching and bad hitting the last few years, and they play in a cavernous ballpark, so a lot of their games are close and low-scoring. when the heart of your lineup features the likes of chase headley, orlando hudson and scott hairston, manufacturing runs might be necessary.

[Careless]

heh, what an annoying game

[haubrich91]

Lol what a win.

Derrrrrrr

[SouthSideRyan]

Dolis thought that was either strike 2 or out 2
