In RS it's pathetic. But in BR anything goes! And in events I'd probably do it if I was grinding it and thought it had a good chance of working. Time saved is a precious commodity sometimes!
I also have no issue with people doin it to me for the same reasons.However, the people that take the extra lead every pitch, the people that call time at the plate in EVERY 2 strike count (Yes, I experienced this very recently!), the practice swingers of years gone by, the bunt dancers, the habitual HR replayers, the ones that try to make u think a can of corn is a HR by sprinting towards the wall, and finally, the people who take the near maximum time between every pitch in a FUTILE attempt to fool the batter into thinking a PHAT one is coming right down the pipe via auto-pitch, did I cover everyone? Well........
They can all choke on a BBC!

Happy Holidays everyone.
You forgot the people that do not hit X in between batters and plays but instead watch the entire batter walk up animation.... press the button people!!
The absolute worst. -

The absolute worst.Thereâs no toxic hair on my body, but every so often, I donât press it because Iâm checking text messages in between at-bats, etc. Other selfish times, Iâm making sure my jerseys and bat are looking clean together.

Maybe it was a smart play. I mean the guy won, right?
My point was, and is, I would not bunt with Harmon Killebrew.
The outfielderâs arm didnât come into it. It was a perfect bunt past the pitcherâs mound. Nobody fielded it before the run scored.
It wasnât about testing my fielding. It was about scoring a run when you are struggling to hit.
If he wanted to test my arm, he would have tried to get the ball into the outfield to score on a sac fly.
THAT is what I would have done. If it failed, I would be fine with that, knowing I did a baseball thing in a baseball game.
I didnât say anything about the OFs arm. Iâm talking about your inability to make a perfect throw. It takes a whoooooooole lot less skill than hitting. I love seeing an opponent make an error. I can beat them almost every time, and Iâm terrible.

What does the BBC acronym mean?

Did you miss the part where I said I use buttons? It has nothing to do with ability. You press a button and the game does math to decide whether the throw is good or not. Ability does not enter into it.
Also, the thread is about bunting with a power hitter, not how good you are at defense.

I donât see what the problem with bunting is when thereâs a shift that counters it perfectly. Btw most of the people playing in December are the ones who would cheese.

Considering you have over 100 sac bunts this year, Iâm not surprised to hear you say this.

Auto shift is worse than bunting for me and the only thing worse than that is the constant pausing. In fact in the past 2 days I have experienced all the above mentioned by everyone here when normally it's rare.

Ive seen a few people in this thread say bunting is cheesing and takes no skill, yet play their home games at Shippett. Some think that playing in that park also requires little to no skill.

Perfect post , I would say it is a drop the mic type post. Well done sir.

Itâs weird that the the majority of guys who have more skill than anybody at this game (Top 50 players) almost exclusively play at Shippet tho.

All minor leagues have a better refresh rate. So they canât use that excuse. Why they do it, itâs because they donât have to hit the ball well to hit it out. They can get away with a lot less accuracy than say a minor league park with less altitude.
That being said, I suck and lose anywhere. Although I do notice I score few more runs ( Home Runs tbh) when I end up at shippet than when I am home team at Citibank. Although I give up more runs too in shippet . Lol.

Says the troll who Complains about bunting and cheesing just as much as I complain about Shippett. Look in a mirror guy.

Most minor league parks are actually decent to play at and provide fairly realistic gameplay. The only problem I have is Shippett. High elevation, short fences and warm climate provide an environment form slow pitch softball. I enjoy all aspects of the game, that includes pitching and the occasional bunt or steal. Just bashing the ball all the time isnât fun.

Bunting is for guys that canât hit, not a complaint just a factual statement

And Shippett is a bad stadium that throws of the balance of the game. Not a complaint , just a factual statement. If youâre allowed your opinion on bunting (and the knuckleball) then Iâm allowed my opinion on Shippett. Donât go saying âi suckâ or âIâm a cryerâ when I just looked through your post history and saw you complain about things in the game you think are imbalanced or are for people who âarenât goodâ
