I wish I had a dollar for every three run rally that started with a bunt for a base hit.

 

I could buy a bag of Doritos, but only the small bag, and not real Doritos, just the Old Dutch knockoffs that cost 99 cents.

 

Mmmm.  Doriiiitoooos.

[Willihammer]

 

Legends Club??

Maybe I dunno. I'm not there I got it off Rhett Bollinger's Twitter

[Aggies7]

How can nobody in MLB bunt?...

[LaBombo]

Suzuki still hobbled by the spill he took off of his Huffy BMX.

[TwinsCD]

9-7 game with 2 on and nobody out in the 8th and your best hitter coming to the plate and you bunt him??  WTF for???  The baseball gods laughed and forced the 3-5 putout.  Come on Molly, you're better than that...I think.

[jimmer]

carp!

yeah, this bunting carp is out of control.

[USAFChief]

So, by sacrifice bunting, if successful, you need a hit to get the tieing run across the plate.

 

You'd need a hit somewhere to get the tieing run across the plate from first base, too.

 

Only now, you have two chances instead of three to get that hit.

[Willihammer]

That was so worth it.

[HitInAPinch]

 

carp!

Bad fish.  Ugly, ugly fish...

[Aggies7]

Sano has left about 76 men on base this week.

[Jham]

Hey! Sano showing a little emotion!

[LaBombo]

 

carp!

Mr. Carp unavailable for comment... making another house call because a boy fed his fish too much.
