****ty bunting is something that pisses me off so much.
It's such an easy, simple task...even with offspeed stuff. If it's in the strike zone, the bunt can be laid down and laid down well. That was horrible. A pop foul and a hard chop to the pitcher.
It's all about focus.
In the WBC...a few games ago, Ichiro lays down a terrible bunt. He knows he did, he got lazy and didn't take his eyes to the spot. Last night he goes textbook, deadens the ball and gets a bunt single at a crucial time on a tough pitch. Even the best make mistakes at times...but the Ags seem to have poor bunts much more than effective ones this season.
Extremely frustrating.
