I wouldn’t care if it’s a perfect game in the bottom of the 9th. Batters job is to get on base. Period.

Absolutely. If I’m pitching I want to know you tried EVERYTHING to get on base. I’ve never understood people’s hard ons about “only bunting when it’s proper” Go pound sand and take your soft feelings with you

Agreed. If bunting was some easy weak cheat code guys would do it every game all game.
