I hate bunt cheesers

My problem with bunt cheesers isn't really the bunting. It's that the ones I've played recently are good at everything except conventional hitting lol. They pitch well, steal well, if they get a guy on, he will get to third, and a squeeze play will be attempted. I just get mad at my self when I don't score enough to beat the 3 or 4 runs they cheese in.

I also hate the abuse of high and tight sinkers.. But I bet you use those at every opportunity don't yah?? I love drag bunting this year.
Well in that case you'll lose every game you play, because the only remedy for those high sinkers is to hit them hard so they stop throwing it, which you probably don't do too well assuming by your comments.. but your bunt game will be shut down by people who know how to play this game.
Tell that to my Lou Brock batting .443 in over 200 Ab

Lol, everytime I see Brock or Cobb leading off with a .450 batting average and 5 home runs, I'm like here we go, let the bs begin

I don’t give a F..k I’ll just start beaning! I don’t care if I’m in the middle of a WS run or not! In fact it just happened. I was 824 tryin to make a run and some dude wants to bunt. So I unloaded the stable on him!

Adjusting your 2B depth is the key against bunters. I love a good drag bunt, both using them and facing them - gotta love stifling it with the adjustments and then smacking a dinger over their head once they've adjusted to your bunts. It's part of the game, it's not exploitive - just play defense and pitch better.

I consider myself a really good pitcher, I was bringing my 2nd baseman in, I just learned through this post how to bring the 3rd baseman in as well. So, I guess I’ll try that and see how it goes before calling out bunt cheesers again. Still, it’s kinda cheesy to bunt with every speed guy you have. Getting 5 or 6 out of 8 base hits that way talks a lot about my defense (Which I admit I wasn’t setting up properly) and so it does about how toxic some players are. (The dude I played was holding R2 as well)

This must be what is expected at 600+ in RS? Last two games people bunt cheese.. I just quit the one ha...not worth my time.
Thanks though @raesONE this should help

@iBonafideScrub_ said in I hate bunt cheesers:
The only thing I didn’t do was to bring the 3rd baseman in. Thanks for the tips.
I honestly don’t know why do they do that. I understand bunts are part of the game and there are situations where you want to drag one against the shift or to simply get on base. But using Brock, Carew and bringing in Gwyn and Lofton off the bench just to do that? It’s pathetic
No its not. It's part of the game and always has been. Its Baseball not HR derby.
Get over it.
Yes it is. If u put as much practice into hitting as u did bunting you would be able to hit.
Obviously bunting is part of the game and has its time and place but to load your squad with 7 90 plus speed guys so u can just keep laying them down is cheese and boring. It defeats the purpose which is trying to have fun. -
@iBonafideScrub_ said in I hate bunt cheesers:
This should be reportable, they’re exploiting the game, it doesn’t matter if you bring your defense in. They’ll just lay it down anyway and get on base.
This dude I played had 8 hits and probably 6 of those were bunt cheesing. I’d like to punch them when they start with that. Play fair.
Sorry, I had to let my frustration go.
Yeah me to bro. F- them. I have Edmonds leading off no speed. Hit the ballll people

I hate when people use the excuse that bunting is a part of baseball. Yes it is but the difference is that in real life it actually takes skill to bunt for a hit whereas in this game you just press a button and let the game do the work for you. Takes no skill.
-
if you are ready for it, its a non-issue. pitch up and in, or in the dirt. set your defense. its not a difference-maker
-
@raesONE said in I hate bunt cheesers:
From now on whenever you suspect a guy of bunting, do this:
- Press down on the D-pad to bring up the defensive alignment menu;
- Set the duration to "batter" (or you'll play like this for the entire game which you obviously don't want);
- Scroll to position and manually select the 2B;
- Scroll down and play him "In";
- Go back to position and now select the 3B;
- Scroll back down and play him on either "drag bunt", or "bunt defense" or "halfway". It doesn't really matter, as long as he's somewhere in between home plate and 3B.
Rinse and repeat every time a guy is up who might bunt.
The only way they can now bunt to get on base is by dropping a perfect bunt just in front of the catcher, where he'll need too much time to pick it up and throw it over. But this is a rarity.
thank you this is incredibly helpful

High speed sinkers up in the strike zone will cause them to foul it off or a weak pop up. Once they realize this, the cheesers try to swing the bat or they quit.

Im guessing it takes more skill to press X or Square than Triangle???

This is not true. A guy with 90+ bunt can easily lay one down on those pitches, I've seen it time and again.

If that’s your stance, half of what happens in this game takes no skill.
