9/4 Cubs (Williams) @ Pirates (Wells) 12:35pm WGN

and then he almost earholes Williams when he squares around to bunt. :x

 

As Santo pointed out, you gotta expect that when you square around too soon.

 

what? you can stand there all day showing bunt. throwing high and inside when the pitcher knows you're bunting is garbage. it's harder to move away from the pitch when squared up to bunt.

 

that's not garbage, it's baseball.

the only move you can make is to lean back. you can't move forward into the pitch and side to side movement is near impossible. it's fine to throw inside, but not head level. that's not baseball.

Wells threw the perfect pitch for the circumstance. It was in a position where it wouldn't hit the batter, but the batter couldn't possibly lay the bunt down. Give the man his props.

[illiniguy]

two more hits for neifi.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wow... another man on second base with nobody out already. Will this time be the charm ??

[Flames24Rulz]

2 on, no outs for the 2nd straight inning. Let's score this time plz.

[Flames24Rulz]

Damned shame they're taking Wells out. I was just starting to like that guy !!
