Yeah we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. I'm not looking to increase the probability to score 1 run, I want to increase the chances they score as many runs as possible and that's why I don't want a sac bunt there

Situationally it can make sense, but I view it like someone passing up a 3 pointer to take one step in for a long 2. By and large the wrong play but not always.
 
I will say I “like” bunts much more in college than MLB. The odds of the fielder screwing it up is much higher. It’s the same reason a runner on 3rd with 2 outs has a better chance of scoring on nonsense in college.

I hate the bunt as a strategy outside of an extreme situation like a bottom of the 9th down 1 or a tie game where you only need 1 run. Any other time I think it severely limits your offensive output and lowers the number of runs you'll score over the course of a season by giving away outs

Well the Mets decided to troll me by bunting in the 1 situation I said I was OK with it, so obviously it failed

I must disagree. It's not passing up a three for as "long" two. It's more like passing up the three for a layup.

In thinking it over, long 2 isn’t the same. However, I would never say getting a guy in from second with 1 out is a layup with this team 🙃

Good point. Let's say passing up the three in lieu of a Jeremy Lamb short floater? That, I'll take.

Good evening for the ball teams wearing blue in Queens last night. Wonder if Nick Ahmed might be giving the pre-game speech to the Huskies today?

Uh...It’s OK if they are less intense, but that may be me.

Doesn't matter if it is Husky Access or now ESPN3. The camera guys suck. Why show the runner running instead of the play taking place. Too many fly ball outs tonight. 12 hits and only 2 runs

I tried so hard to watch the game on ESPN3 and made it through part of the top half of the first. Single camera behind home plate and the dreadful announcers made it unwatchable. I get better video feeds of local HS baseball than they had last night.

While you watch the camera work today keep in mind that if we had stayed in the ACC basketball games would be self produced as well. The quality would have been pretty spotty as well.

In any event it’s less annoying today. Did they have two cameras last night?

They definitely had multiple cameras which made everything so much worse. The amount of times they immediately switched to a view of the runner when the ball was put in play and, as a result, missed the actual outcome of said play was staggering.

Crap that was a nice play.
 
Damn that high throw on the steal ended up costing us a run.
