STOP FUCKING BUNTING, YOST

 

[brianjones]

the royals aren't a hard hitting team this is what they do

 

[Branduil]

I'm convinced that the more you bunt, the dumber you become.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Hit a single.

 

[harSon]

Deja vu

 

[Syrinx]

Carbon copy of the last inning.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Yost to bunt him home now

 

[Surge]

Wild pitch walk off

 

[Loco4Coco]

Let them bunt, bunting got them here in the 1st place.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Yost to bunt him home now

He would suicide squeeze, too.

[Coldnoodle]

Omg at those Nix stats :lol

 

[Syrinx]

Now Jayson Nix is up to win the game. Royals pls.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Bunting is totally acceptable for this type of situation

 

[JackLongRod]

Second inning in a row runner gets stranded on 3rd

 

[Brinbe]

Huuuuuuuuuuge fucking K, well done

 

[JDHarbs]

My heart can't take this.

 

[LyleLanley]

Should've bunted.

 

[Branduil]

KC is going to lose because of their idiotic bunting.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

The Royals did it to themselves.

 

[cashman]

Stop bunting yost

 

[grandjedi6]

So close, yet so so far

 

[bigosc2k]

They really need to stop bunting after getting someone on 1st.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

That was a pretty questionable strike.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Bunting is totally acceptable for this type of situation

+++++

 

[Windu]

Bunting is totally acceptable for this type of situation

Bunting from 1st to 2nd is never acceptable. 2nd to 3rd with no outs if you need 1 run, yes.

 

[Syrinx]

Next guy to lead off for KC needs to get an extra-base hit.

 

[painey]

ho-lee fuck!

 

[BFIB]

Next guy to lead off for KC needs to get an extra-base hit.

Then bunted to third.

 

[Windu]

A's will put one over the fence soon.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Bunting from 1st to 2nd is never acceptable. 2nd to 3rd with no outs if you need 1 run, yes.

most baserunners aren't scoring from 1st on a bloop single

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Like why is the problem the bunting and not the 4 chances the Royals have had to drive in a run from second but weren't able to

 

[Windu]

Then bunted to third.

That, i would be ok with.

 

[zulux21]

That was a pretty questionable strike.

it might have been a little outside, but it had a lot of late movement and was well over the plate by the time the catcher caught it and shifted it in even more to the center of the plate. Thus to me hardly questionable, more much to close to take with 2 strikes, the game on the line, and the winning run 90 feet away.

 

[ShaneB]

A game of bunts.

 

[Surge]

Oh no...not you too Melvin.

 

[Corran Horn]

Bunts!

 

[Syrinx]

Melvin going full Yost.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Good trade off. Let's see if they can capitalize too.

 

[rekameohs]

Interesting strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

 

[Branduil]

most baserunners aren't scoring from 1st on a bloop single

Bunting from 1st to 2nd is almost never statistically better than trying to get on base.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

he got a bunt, I got a bunt, everybody got bunts!!!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I want to play Mordor but this game just doesn't end. Somebody win quickly.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Make the teams Settle It In Smash!

Yeah, it's true. It's was too close for Nix to take.

 

[Syrinx]

Yeah, it's true. It's was too close for Nix to take.

Nix wasn't getting a hit anyway. He's Jayson Nix.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I know this Frasor guy, he used to play for the Blue Jays

 

[Brinbe]

Didn't even realize Frasor was a Royal lol

of all the pitchers you have, why would you put him in

 

[zulux21]

Nix wasn't getting a hit anyway. He's Jayson Nix.

now now I have seen his bat accidentally hit the ball a few times... but yeah odds were against him by quite a bit.

 

[Macattk15]

Oh boy.
