MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

You put so many more things in play.

The pitcher’s brain sees the guy on 3rd so he leaves a pitch over the plate.

The hitter’s approach changes.

A passed ball happens.

A rushed infielder trying to hurry home on a chopper.

A plain ol’ Sac Fly.

There’s analytics but you gotta go with “man-alytics” sometimes and just know the human element of a playoff moment. Make them answer the pressure.

Bunt. Literally, just bunt and get the leadoff double to 3rd.

Put the pressure on the pitcher by being 90 feet away. It’s that simple.
I absolutely abhor giving away outs but it’s situational and if the situation is 1 run wins and it’s bottom 10 you bunt that fucker over.

With the banjo hitting SS no less.

Hard to watch
