I don't mind a sacrifice bunt to move a runner to 3B with one out, but I want Beckham swinging the bat. He's potentially amongst the best run producers in a shaky lineup, don't take the bat out of his hands.


But you do know that the odds of scoring a man from second with no outs are better than those of scoring a man from third with one out, right?


I don't know the odds of either, but I don't have a problem with moving a runner along provided they aren't taking the bat out of one of the club's supposed run producers.

Well, I can assure you that is the case. Sacrifice bunts are like abortions. They should be safe, legal, and rare.

The stubborn motherfucker won't move AJ out of the 5th spot and it hurts the team game after mother fuckin game. He comes up with guys on 2nd and 3rd no outs and pops up to the fuckin catcher. He's hitting .143 for fuck sake! God damn it this is frustrating to watch.

Back in the Teddy Roosevelt Era when we were kids, it seems that the only sacrifice bunts were by the home team tied or a run down in the last of the eighth or ninth.

Josh Fields' is likely out for the season after hip surgery and Chris Getz is on the disabled list with a strained oblique.
