  1. Team is saying Buxton has "right knee soreness" but is still being evaluated.
  2. I'll repeat this, I never said that it couldn't be done. Only that it was more difficult than people around here make it. That's it.
  3. And mess up the space/time continuum? ARE YOU NUTS?!
  4. You...you get divots! Deep divots. Deep and plentiful divots!
  5. All I'm saying is that it's a different skillset. Just like with anything, some won't have any issues with it, some will. I wish Buxton would employ the bunt for hit now and then. I think that'd be a pretty good weapon for him. I'll add that I hate the fact that more players don't bunt against the shift more. It drives me nuts. I just don't think it's as easy as many here make it out to be. And to me, it doesn't even matter whether it's harder than a full swing or not.
  6. Good day to mute the TV and put on some music! Welcome back to MN, by the way.
  7. This team was outscored 14-2 in the two games against the Dodgers. I'm optimistic that they can improve upon that!
  8. They are two different skillsets, in my view. There's a reason that K rates are climbing, so clearly swinging and hitting a ball is becoming more difficult. That's partly approach, but also largely on the velocity and movement that pitchers possess. I'm not sure that gets any easier while bunting. It's a completely different motion and setup. I'm with you that there are probably many that would be able to do it with some practice, but I don't think all of them could. And regardless, I do wish that they would at least try. I'm onboard with that 100%. I just don't think it's as easy as it's made out to be in today's game.
  9. I understand completely. I got fit for clubs a month ago and not only do I not have them yet (thanks supply chain!), but I haven't touched my old clubs since.
  10. Just for that, I rescind my invitation I extended a month or so ago to join me on your lawn. Just be thankful that I'll try not to take too deep a divot while practicing my pitch shots while I'm there! I can't make any promises though. ?
  11. Definitely sunny here in the south suburbs. I haven't put my clubs in the car yet. Hasn't been nice enough to think about it. And I don't mind playing in the cold. It's the cold and WIND that gives me pause.
