Maybe not to a degree...but the basic concept of batting practice is to get you close to what you'll see

you do no good warming at 70mph from 60ft (that's why the snap em off at 45ft or whatnot)....

you start consistently hitting that shift for your outs...it's time to re-evaluate your approach imo and I know he sorta can given he does it routinely in practice.

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
