Why about just trying to roll the ball and not worry about hitting for power?

Easier said than done.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Well I’ll be damn

 

[Aerie Vol]

Against a top 5 team, I take every point I can generate.

Uh oh. Someone is gonna blow this post up.

Let's get a double and break there piggie hearts...

Sure. But no guarantee either way. Some players are not skilled at bunting. Maybe he bunts it right to the pitcher and the runner gets nailed at home. Then, we likely don't score that second run.

We look at 2 strikes and go down. 0-2 makes it much worse…

But we don’t ever do it, regardless of batter but I do agree with you on the skill set

Someone can perform it

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Two Nine has done a pretty solid job so far

 

[Ritzwatch]

Good evening, friend. Respectfully, I believe you misunderstood my post. There is a long history of some regular posters distain for the bunt, even in strategically appropriate times in the game. I was actually just preparing the board for their potential arrival here,

Every time we bunt, nothing good happens. Best to just stay away from it.

It's rare for the clean up hitter to bunt, in general.

We will refrain from using all four letter words that start with b and end with t while txbo is not here. No cursing.

@Voltrapnbama These guys seemed to be on board with my message. And, how bout that army bunt? . Cleanup and all…

My 7 year old sons baseball team is 3-0 after this evening! Hoping to bring some good luck to the thread!

 

[volz2wallz]

Booom...sit down hogs...Lindz locked in!!️

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Did somebody say K?

 

[WillisWG]

[VolPack22]

I understand that. Granted, I’m not a D1 coach and my kid isn’t a D1 player, she is a clean up hitter and will bunt on demand. In a game that I know will be a tough game, every run matters.

Analytics have shown coaches that it’s best to not sacrifice your outs for runner advancement, unless it’s a situation like the 8th or 9th inning with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs.

 

[VolGirl81]

Andrew Lindsey is looking awfully smooth so far!

 

[RAVOL]

2 inning Lindsey looking really good. Didn't allow the bunt to get into his head. In CHRIST Alone

 

[feathersax]

Andrew has the ball dancing tonight.

 

[Drewbydoo]

MERRITT is due

I don’t really care what anyone else says about my opinion. But to be fair, I can quote where several agree . Knowing how to quote someone else doesn’t help with the knowledge or discussion of a game. You have provided nothing to the subject.

Advance or score?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lindsey looking good so far. Let’s get him some more breathing room.

 

[knoxvol52]

This Lindsey cat did he not pitch for Walter St. In Morristown a year or too,I thnk my son played on the team with him

Lady Vols take the 2-1 win @ 16th ranked KY in extra innings. An error almost cost them. Should have been two outs with a runner on first, but a dropped ball at 2nd led to runners on 1st and 2nd and only one out... BUT Ashley shut the door to close out the win!! Might have been a huge injury on the out. Outfielder and 2nd baseman colided for the the out. TN player still on the ground. Here was the go-ahead run.
