ok so let's say it stays a one run game

For the life of me I can't figure out why the home team doesn't bunt the guy over when they know they are down 1 in extras. Or do they and it's just the Giants that don't

Meanwhile nice bunt by Astros. This is baseball strategery surprised more of you don't like it

I like manufacturing runs, and I like speed on the basepaths.

1) It is not the way baseball is anymore (3 true outcomes and analytics and all that)

2) The Giants believe in neither of those things.

I just thought about this but..... Is a ghost runner counted as an earned run? :noidea:

So you should love Manfred ball making those things relevant again at least in extra innings.

That's my question, do no teams do that or just the Giants and a few others? I genuinely don't know

Now watch. The Giants will try to bunt to get on base or move the runner along and they will popup into three outs.
Can't do that down 2 runs, can't waste an out if you need more than one run

A single will do nicely!

I guess Conforto isn't the guy to bunt but that craziness works!
