Wasn't Greinke's last start just as good or better through 5 IP?

Because if it was easy, they would. I would wager any of our hitters 1-9 would be more likely to strike out than get a bunt single the other way.
Instead of attempting it he just hits the ball in the exact same spot 95% of the time. That's obviously working
Do teams not emphasize getting on base, anymore? I am not all that up to date on the modern game.Farmer1906 said:MosesHallRAB04 said:Farmer1906 said:

There is a reason why pretty much everyone in baseball doesn't do what your saying.

Less often than the ~33% of the time guys get on base in other ways?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Do teams not emphasize getting on base, anymore? I am not all that up to date on the modern game.Farmer1906 said:MosesHallRAB04 said:Farmer1906 said:

They do. Clearly they don't think that will get them on base often enough.

For the record, I'm only annoyed by it some of the time
This is the maybe the best argument I've seen. Again, I think it probably varies batter to batter...there aren't many Barry Bonds types on each team. Are the majority of big league hitters more likely to hit a double or homer than a single?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Less often than the ~33% of the time guys get on base in other ways?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Do teams not emphasize getting on base, anymore?

But that only factors in on base. What about those extra bases? You'd have to be successful more like 40-43% of the time for it to make sense.

You don't have to bunt to hit it to the 3rd. Inside out swing. Tucker never does it. And I agree that the entire mlb doesn't do it either. And I think it's odd for them as well
