What's up with that Chi/SJ line -140 to -160? SJ lost to Cal and Pitt as significant home favs over their past 10 games. Chi has taken 3 of the last 4 in series including last 2 in SJ. Chi 8-2-1 in November vs SJ 4-5-1.

Except that tailing since the start of the season has yielded a positive RoR that has been well documented. Man, the stupid here truly is blinding.. |

Making contact with the ball is not the, “ONLY,” skill involved in this sport, Rostos. That is a ridiculous statement and I’m pretty sure you know this, but I’m also pretty sure you like to stir up discussions where you get to take on the masses. There are numerous elements to playing baseball that take superior athletic talent to compete at the highest levels, you know like; running, throwing, catching, leaping, diving, strength, toughness... C’mon, Rostos, you know better. Attempting to make contact with the ball is just ONE part of the sport. The average hitter being successful 25% of the time doesn’t make the other 75% of batting appearances meaningless. You’re intentionally being too literal with the numbers, but like I said, you’re a pot stirrer. I’m sure you’ve heard of the term, “productive outs,” before? Whether Marte deliberately meant to drive in those runs with a dribbler to 3rd is irrelevant. He planned on driving them in by hitting the ball, which is what he did. Which is what was initially required. Was he lucky that is went where it did? Maybe. Ever notice how much room is out there on the playing field? So much room that nine guys can’t have it all covered all of the time. Those pros who you’ve quoted wouldn’t agree with anyone saying that so much luck is involved in their sport that anyone who could swing a bat off their shoulders could play it. These guys are adept at making square contact with the ball consistently enough to help produce runs against the best arms in the world. When they do, they aren’t hoping it lands somewhere fair, they expect it to. I’m no baseball expert, never played the game. I’m a fan of most sports and baseball isn’t my favourite, but in my opinion it is disrespectful to reduce the sport to an activity predominately based on being lucky when only taking into account the percentage of times you get credited with a hit. |

A wise man once said something to the effect that a lot a people on Covers would be far better off tailing plays. But I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the 95% of clowns that post here regularly. I can't remember his name but he played a lot of 5 inning lines and had a green $ sign as his avatar... |

Jorge Cantu was up. I figured he didn't bunt because there was little faith that he could get job done. It's the only reason I can come up with. I'm still sour about that loss. |

Jarrett75..
Thanks for the insight. I knew there were some valid reasons behind this. I think I put too much stock into the fact that these are professional players, so I assume that they all should know how to execute the fundamentals. As for fixes, I guess they have been proven to exist (Donaghy), but they're obviously the exception, not the rule.

A question for all you knowledgeable baseball fans. Why does it seem that managers are so reluctant to bunt in what appears to be ideal situations? Bottom 9th in the Jays game today, man on 2nd, no outs and the Jays down a run? Or two opportunities for Fred Lewis today with a man on 2nd, no outs in a tight game and the same thing? I was on the Marlins a few nights ago, game tied at 4, men on 1st and 2nd with no outs in the bottom of 9th and not even a thought of a bunt? Marlins go on to lose. Any intelligent theories?
