I'm with OP as well. I wouldn't make a post about it, but his opponent was definitely cheesing and knew very well what he was doing.

.... It sounds like he played some smart baseball, but reading this you can tell you're biased towards yourself. Which is reasonable, we all are biased towards ourselves.
just read this "I work him to a 3-2 count", more like he worked it to a 3-2 count, I don't think you wanted it to be 3-2 count, so it wouldn't be you "worked the count", it would be him.
It's smart baseball to go 2nd to home on a bunt? Now if the throw was wide or something that's different
He was stealing, so it wasn't like he bunted while standing on 2nd, the runner was already in motion nearing third. Because he was stealing, the third baseman is going to cover third for the throw, meaning the bunt won't get fielded as fast. Same thing would happen in real life, the third baseman would cover 3rd not expecting a bunt.
Same thing would happen as in the first baseman would catch ball do some slow dance moves, tie his shoes and check his cup before realizing the runner sidnt stop at 3rd?....HD time to get him 1st in slo mo.
Anyway yes I dont usually complain on here seen this stuff for the last decade this one just ticked me off

Bunting with two strikes imo shows no confidence in ones ability to hit.
-
The main problem is you pitching to a 3-0 count. Then the 3-2 count allows the steal. 2nd problem is the bunt by Posey should never happen. Knowing that can happen need a better pitch location. The last thing would be the delayed throw.

No I mad a great pitch on 3-2 woulda been a grounder to third foul or a taken 3rd strike...I was down 3-0 trying to get him to chase one off the corner and or 2 seamer on his hands...he had been flailing the first 2 innings. I dont mind getting behind in count was nibbling and hit my spots on 3-0, 3-1, and 3-2.
1st and 2nd 0-0 score, zero outs with with your 2 hole hitter up.....and Pujols on deck...yea a 3-2 count less than 2 outs is a great time to bunt and run....
Says no one.
The only real problem is the bunt and run taking advantage of the 1Bs delayed reaction alowing him to score from second and lindor going 1st to 3rd.....
FYI I pegged Pujols with next pitch then I'd Griffey....
Anyway

Didn't you see Major League? Wesley Snipes scored from 2nd on a bunt.

Agree. No outs even. A walk scores...
-
Bush league has become the new norm. Kill or be killed I guess.

You have to expect it if he steals and bunt; I usually run to the runner or pump fake when something like that happens; my record shows over 500 games played and my profile diamond lvl 100 and you expect me to fall for it? Dude, please...

Willie Mays Hayes? -
Il bunt with my pitcher if a runner is on, but thats about it. Is playing like a cheeseball enjoyable? Does your W/L count mean that much to you?

Are getting the game?

Truthfully you got to always think people are going to play that way. I'm always looking for the bs and if it doesn't happen good. But you're guilty of being a cheeser until proven innocent!! Lol

Bush league or not its 1 run in a 9 inning game, learn to hit
