I'm not a fan of bunting to break up a No Hitter...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Sep 2 '10, 07:33

stand in the box and beat him at what he's excelling at. He's outpitching, not outfielding you.

if it is Juan Pierre up, who routinely bunts for singles, I have no issue with it. - groiny Sep 2, 08:00
If there are BB's on 1st and 2nd in a low-scoring game, I'm absolutely going to bunt, regardless of whether it's a no hitter -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 07:42 1
- that I could see. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:44
I'm conflicted. - znufrii Sep 2, 07:36 8
- I'd really not have an issue with it if it's a guy who bunts.... - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:39 7
  - I dunno. If Big Papi bunted for a single to break up a no hitter, it'd be the hardest fought base hit ever. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:40 6
    - with the shift on, all he has to do it get it down third base line with some zip on it. - groiny Sep 2, 07:58
    - Well, I'm sure if that ever happened, both the catcher and pitcher would need to be dead. - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:43
    - Now I need to know...has he ever bunted successfully as a Red Sox? -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:42 3

bunting is part of the game though -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:34
