Guysm, To be fair, I said I could live with bunting the runner from 1st to 2nd, not that I necessarily agree with it. I don't strongly disagree with getting a RISP at the expense of an out even though the data doesn't support it. My issue is with wasting an out once you've secured the RISP, and...

And still another Miami fan who ignores sabermetrics. Wasting outs has been proven wrong to everyone but a small sect of Miami fans and their head coach. Weird. According to baseballanalysts.com, in situations with two base runners, teams stand a 10.4% better chance at scoring one run with...

Lol

Regardless of which loss you think was worse in 2008, there isn't one move and one move only in that situation. Bethune's pitcher was struggling and Morris' play was to throw him a line and give away an out. It was unnecessary and it's been too long having to endure such robotic decision making.

We're a tight, knit-fit group of fans on this board. Let's agree to disagree on the practice of giving away outs and be bros, bro.

I will never forgive 3 for having Weeks bunt against Stanford with two on, nobody out like the robot that he is. Did you know there are fans out there that don't have to put up with this ****? For others, 1st and 2nd with arguably your 2nd best hitter up to bat signifies that a rally is about to...

A runner on first and second with no outs should not automatically call for a bunt, as it has every time we've been faced with that situation in 25 years under Morose. I get that you want to push that runner home and that statistically it's the right move when you're attempting to score one run...

Yes. Again and again. And I understand that this argument will rage on as long as the game of baseball is played by young men. Assuming the sac bunt is executed and the runners move up, the next batter is getting walked and setting up the force at any base. It can work with flawless execution...

It wouldn't have mattered if Barry Bonds came up to bat in that spot instead of Burns, Morris would've had him bunt because he knows just one way. Watching DiMare shake his head after Burns failed provides a sliver of hope that maybe he would've allowed the kids to play baseball in that spot...

25 seasons of this **** smh. So many rallies killed and runs left on the field by future MLB sluggers weilding aluminum bats asked to bunt repeatedly, and it's defended here!

What's funny is that Zamora squared around to bunt with Escala on 1st (no issue with that) and got HBP. So even with a runner already in scoring position, Morris decides he'd rather give away another out by asking someone to bunt smh. And then of course it leads to an easy out and a murdered...

I was at the game yesterday for a few innings after the rain delay and there were about 40-50 fans left. Not surprising after a 90 minute delay and 85 degree heat. But while I was there I saw the sloppiest baseball ever. Tackett dropped a fly ball, Mediavilla couldn't get anyone out, Cook fired...
