Bunting???

[Johnny Sleeper]

Your outcome based logic is not a real logic.

If you run the ball on 4th and 17 from your own 35 with time running out, and your RB just happens to score the winning touchdown, that doesn't make it the right choice.

It is probability based logic. Any time you have a player sacrifice bunt it is the same as running the ball on 4th and 17. The only time you consider doing something like that is if it can lead to winning the game and your other options have been taken from you, i.e. everyone on the team that can throw a ball has a broken arm so you have to run. In order for a bunt to be considered even a 50/50 option you have to have a batter that is worse than any on the Cubs' roster at the plate AND it has to be in the 9th inning, or later, and it has to be the winning, or go ahead, runner on 3rd. Any sacrifice bunt constitutes an attempt to throw the game unless the batter is a sub .200 hitter.

You got your sac bunt and it killed what should have been a big inning.

So you're trying to claim that I was calling for a 1st inning, no out bunt by the clean up hitter?
Wow. You're a childish, weaselly piece of jokey trash

8th. Down by one. Speedster on 2nd. No outs.
Szczur at bat and top of the order on deck

Do we bunt? Hell no. We fuck it up.
