Death to bunting? NL & DH (breakout from Kieboom)
« Topic Start: September 12, 2020, 09:24:53 AM »
Bunting is becoming a lost art  (sacrifice bunting, not bunting for a hit, nor squeeze) and will become extinct if the NL adopts the DH, unless they continue this runner on second rule.  Because I really think that the only appropriate time for a sac bunt is with a runner on second, nobody out, tie game in bottom of last or an extra inning.   So bunting in that situation last night (in two consecutive innings) seems appropriate to me (except for the fact that nobody knows how to sacrifice bunt anymore.  What bothers me so much is that one of those instances the batter bunted with two strikes.  That's a Cardinal Sin in my book.
