That's ridiculous overall, but why can this dude go opposite field in batting practice but when it matters, he's grounding out to the same shift-field -- nm

I'm not sure the pitches he's hitting are 100% analagous in those two situations. -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 06:21 10
- Maybe not to a degree...but the basic concept of batting practice is to get you close to what you'll see - Will Hunting Apr 7, 06:24 9
  - I would love to see him try to hit .400 by laying bunts down the 3B line. -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 06:26 8
    - Not even that sorta thing...just poke the ball into left. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 06:29 6
      - That would be cool too. But the bunts work. Because the Papi shift is insane. -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 06:32 5

        There are very few players who remotely play with this shift. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 06:36
        
        To be fair though, that lardass couldn't beat out a bunt even with the Papi shift :) -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 06:33 2
        
        It's extremely funny to watch when he does do it. -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 06:41 1
        
        (You almost want to yell to the opposing 1B: "Get out of the way! He's coming!!!") -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 06:42
    - that would be hilarious... -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 06:27
