Bregman has been steady, but the offense could really benefit from him going on a several-week hitting binge.

He's not getting pitched to much right now.

Fortunately he's taking his walks but yeah no would be a good time for him to go HAM.

How is that people haven't started bunting to beat the shift?

Same reason players haven't started choking up and slapping a single with 2 strikes.

The value of a possible XBH outweighs the benefit of high percentage single.


That's where statistics fails. If you only need one run to win or tie, choke it the **** up.

Exactly. Like last night in the top of the 8th, runners on 2nd and 3rd, two outs, and down by one. Kemp at the plate with a shift to the right side of the infield and the third baseman playing near the bag to hold the runner. If Kemp pokes one the other way to the location the SS traditionally plays at least one run scores. Instead a ground out to second and inning over.

Asking a guy to place a bunt perfectly between a pitcher and 3rd baseman is not an easy thing to do. You need to be a very skilled bunter to have confidence that you can place that bunt in the exact right location at the exact right speed. Bunted too softly and it doesn't get through. Bunted 1 yard to far to the right or left and they can field it.

Votto should never have been on base. He was struck out looking. Except he *****ed and got the ump to call a strike a ball. Why in the world a professional umpire listened to that I have no idea. Angel wouldn't have.

This offense was clicking better with Fisher. Your constant calling for Yordon messed with clubhouse chemistry.

Also very possible the ump's zone just sucks. That second strike was well off the plate.

"Would you try it again?"
"No"

That's a ringing endorsement.
