I am 100% in favor of bunting to break up a no-no or perfect game. The rest of what you described however, I am not in favor.
smh perfect example of not respecting the game
Its a competition. You try to best your opponent, they try to best you. If you're more concerned about respecting the game, and taking 3-0, go play something else.
If you read the thread I already mentioned how I don't mind what tatis is doing, and that some of the rules are stupid.... But ruining a perfect game by bunting? nah, especially when he was bunt dancing beforehand
If he was bunt dancing beforehand than you knew he was more than capable of bunting at any point...meaning you should've set your defense up for the bunt. The proper way, not just default bunt defense.
I mean throwing a sinker up and in that isn't in the stikezone should be good enough and him getting the good animation where its in the bermuta triangle between first second and the mound is bs, especially on the pitch location, it should be popped up
You gotta play the way the game plays, not how you want it to play. Doesn't matter what should have happened, you didn't set the right defense.
Not sure if you know what bunt defence looks like buddy, but won't be able to stop in that location. It's honestly really sad to see how many people are defending the people that routinely bunt smfh.
That's because I take the time to actually move my 2B in, not just rely on the preset bunt defense. I don't remember the last time someone got one down on me with that alignment.
-
I had Lofton get two bunt singles off me today with the 2B in.
Both times, Bellinger went to field it leaving nobody at the bag.
I guess I need to select the 2B faster. Pretty annoying when the game does this.
-
I can't believe the number of people defending players that bunt 4+ times a game. It is ridiculous. It doesn't happen in real life, you'll be lucky if there is 1 or 2 attempts in a game (and are usually sac bunts, not bunt for base hits), much less 3 or 4 bunts put in play. I know its a video game, but it's absurd, ridiculous and unrealistic. People who defend this method of playing are apart of the problem. It takes no skill to bunt in this game, it takes luck.

You misunderstand me, I don't like playing bunt cheesers, I think they are only hurting themselves because if SDS fixes it in MLB 21, they are screwed.
I just don't think it's the "ThEy ArE dISrEsPeCtInG bAsEbAlL" levels of serious. If baseball were a person, I guess he/she must get seriously offended at everything judging by how many times he/she feels disrespected.
-
It would annoy me for a few minutes then I'd move on, its just a video game.

Ah yes, but when chapman throws 101 at someone's head, we don't blink. No, others stand up against that because you are disrespecting the game by risking one's life by purposely throwing at their head. (yes there's always a risk, but its a fraction not comparable to an intentional throw at the head) So yes, disrespecting the game is a thing. Not sure if you've played baseball in real life, but when you play you don't play all willy nilly

yeah like I was annoyed for a while and honestly I couldn't really give one now but then people start defending people bunting in any circumstance in the game and that's the real crime at this point.

Comparing BUNTING to throwing at a player's head. Lol, what are we doing here? Clearly grasping at straws now.
Kinda ironic, weren't you the one in the thread about FQ telling the other guy " I don't let the little things get to me kiddo, a small breeze won't send me freefalling."

No its called the unwritten rules of baseball, bunting to ruin a PG and throwing at one's head are both rules that should remain. (honestly fine with Tatis and him swinging 3-0 for a granny)

Again, speaking those two things in the same sentence just shows how far you are reaching. Those two things have nothing in common. One is a silly rule that you seem "adamant" on. But as you said in another thread " I don't let the little things get to me kiddo, a small breeze won't send me freefalling."

Ah, yes detective Tony Larussa out here
Again, they are under the same umbrella. You haven't been paying attention to what I'm saying or you don't understand what I'm saying. If you played baseball or watched baseball last year, or even watched the trailer for the show 21, a huge topic of discussion are the unwritten rules of baseball and which are still relevant, and while others aren't. They are under the umbrella of those unwritten rules so yes, I do think they are relevant to each other.
Third, you probably didn't read the thread in which I said that, where a 47 year old man was furious about having to push circle over a friendly quit. This context is important when you realize that the topic of discussion didn't remain long on my game, which I could honestly care-less about at this point. Now the discussion has moved to consistently bunting in this game, which is a problem and requires no skill, and the integrity of the game (ie the unwritten rules)
Honestly, I thought we were having a fair discussion right now kiddo, but internet trolls can only last so long before taking shots at a person behind their screen.... -

There is a major difference between potentially injuring someone and bunting for a hit.
If you can't see the difference between those two things, there isn't a point to this conversation.
-
Nobody is defending bunting. It’s just that if you play online enough, you see way too many players that can’t hit and rely on these tactics to score.
I don’t think anyone likes playing a bunt cheeser, but you might as well learn how to defend against one, since they are not going away.
The unwritten rules of baseball and the unwritten rules of mlb the show are not interchangeable.

Deflecting?? Same level, no. Same category, yes.
Take Mookie Betts and Mike Yaztremski. As much as it hurts to say it, Mookie is on a different level than Yaz. Are they in the same category? Yes, they're both right fielders. That's what I was saying. Things can be on different levels, but in the same category. -

I can't believe the number of people defending players that bunt 4+ times a game. It is ridiculous. It doesn't happen in real life, you'll be lucky if there is 1 or 2 attempts in a game (and are usually sac bunts, not bunt for base hits), much less 3 or 4 bunts put in play. I know its a video game, but it's absurd, ridiculous and unrealistic. People who defend this method of playing are apart of the problem. It takes no skill to bunt in this game, it takes luck.
You misunderstand me, I don't like playing bunt cheesers, I think they are only hurting themselves because if SDS fixes it in MLB 21, they are screwed.
I just don't think it's the "ThEy ArE dISrEsPeCtInG bAsEbAlL" levels of serious. If baseball were a person, I guess he/she must get seriously offended at everything judging by how many times he/she feels disrespected.
Ah yes, but when chapman throws 101 at someone's head, we don't blink. No, others stand up against that because you are disrespecting the game by risking one's life by purposely throwing at their head. (yes there's always a risk, but its a fraction not comparable to an intentional throw at the head) So yes, disrespecting the game is a thing. Not sure if you've played baseball in real life, but when you play you don't play all willy nilly
Comparing BUNTING to throwing at a player's head. Lol, what are we doing here? Clearly grasping at straws now.
No its called the unwritten rules of baseball, bunting to ruin a PG and throwing at one's head are both rules that should remain. (honestly fine with Tatis and him swinging 3-0 for a granny)
Again, speaking those two things in the same sentence just shows how far you are reaching. Those two things have nothing in common. One is a silly rule that you seem "adamant" on. But as you said in another thread " I don't let the little things get to me kiddo, a small breeze won't send me freefalling."
Lol
Ah, yes detective Tony Larussa out here
Again, they are under the same umbrella. You haven't been paying attention to what I'm saying or you don't understand what I'm saying. If you played baseball or watched baseball last year, or even watched the trailer for the show 21, a huge topic of discussion are the unwritten rules of baseball and which are still relevant, and while others aren't. They are under the umbrella of those unwritten rules so yes, I do think they are relevant to each other.
Third, you probably didn't read the thread in which I said that, where a 47 year old man was furious about having to push circle over a friendly quit. This context is important when you realize that the topic of discussion didn't remain long on my game, which I could honestly care-less about at this point. Now the discussion has moved to consistently bunting in this game, which is a problem and requires no skill, and the integrity of the game (ie the unwritten rules)
Honestly, I thought we were having a fair discussion right now kiddo, but internet trolls can only last so long before taking shots at a person behind their screen....They are not under the same umbrella
There is a major difference between potentially injuring someone and bunting for a hit.
If you can't see the difference between those two things, there isn't a point to this conversation.
I'm disappointed, you didn't read it. Can't teach an old dog new tricks
I'm disappointed you can't defend your statements and just resort to deflecting.
So are you saying that they are on the same level? Potentially injuring someone and bunting for a hit, yes or no?
Deflecting?? Same level, no. Same category, yes.

That's what I was saying. Things can be on different levels, but in the same category.Ok, so why isn't Tatis's thing in that "category"? The same defense could be used no?

I actually have more of a problem with Tatis swinging 3-0. I mean as a fan, I don’t mind, but if I am the manager and I give a take sign, grand slam or not, he’d better take that pitch next time or I’m fining his a$$.

When I was coaching we had this really cocky 14 year old. Said he could steal home, I told him no. He did anyway and I basically yelled don't swing so he wouldn't get a bat to the head. He swung and it had to be literally inches from his face. He scored. I benched him the rest of the game.

You can consider it in the same category, I never said you couldn't. But there are certain rules in the unwritten rules that are being put into question right now, and throwing at one's head and bunting to foil a perfect game aren't the ones that are being questioned. As a fan I don't mind tatis swinging 3-0, but I can see how the other team feels disrespected. Honestly, I don't really care.
