The Tigers have one of the worst offenses in the league. I’d be pleased as heck if speedy guys like Baddoo, Vierling, Meadows, etc, figured out how to bunt to get on base with some regularity. And I wouldn’t care when they employed the tactic. Just get on base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, a batter's job is to help his team score runs. If bunting helps his team score runs, then he has done his job. Helping his opponent achieve goals should not be on his mind at all.

No hitter should "rely" on bunting but an occasional bunt hit that catches the opponent by surprise is a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rely might be the sticking point here. The gentleman I was responding to said “with regularity,” which I swapped with rely. Regardless, I’m just not a fan of bunting outside of occasionally moving a runner. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very limited cases where a hitter should be moving a runner over with a bunt. In general, I don't like giving up outs. I like if a hitter can bunt for a hit if he's good at it (which most of them aren't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Skubal featuring 99 on the FB several times tonight. Hot gun maybe. Torkelson with some opposite field approach in a couple of his AB. Good sign. Javy put up some numbers tonight but he is still showing the backswing before getting the bat moving forward. Javy should go to winter ball and figure out how to leave the hitch there before he returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but it was against the Angels that some Halo bunted in the infamous Verlander v Jared Weaver classic in 2012 (the one where Weaver got tossed after almost beaning Alex Avila after Guillen homered and showboated in retaliation for JW jawing at Maggs for "watching" one he hit and made sure it stayed fair) and Verlander had a no-hitter going. And if any of you saw that game like I did, Verlander was PISSED and did his own eyeballing. This was late in the game. So yeah....in a late game situation like this one...bunting for a hit was (I would say) a little "bush-league". I came into this game in the bottom of the 7th. GREAT timing.

TigersForever1256 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Boy oh boy...this Angels team is a pale shade of the team that ran roughshod over the Tigers earlier in Detroit. Guess hanging on to Shohei and making a run for it kinda blew up in their faces. Worst team in baseball since the trade deadline. Maybe this will be a fun series after all.
