Why the bunt hate?
-
Define good jeff? Using contact to hit a homerun on a ball clearly unhittable in the real world? Do you use a zen ? Stop whining about bunters who beat you 1-0.

Btw, if get nasty messages for playing a game the way it was designed to play.... /report /block. There, no more salt.

I understand people “bunt cheesing” but I wish others knew how to play small ball.
Earlier today I won a game. I was down 1-0 and had a lead off single by Torre. Next at bat he hits Tom Glavine, so runners on first and second with no outs. Lofton is my lead off man, so I place down a bunt so I can at least advance the runners and if I’m fortunate enough get on base. His second baseman proceeds to try bare hands it but misses the ball (I still had it beat if he picked it cleanly). He proceeds to pause the game and messages me, calls me everything under the sun for bunting and how I’m no good etc lol I’m like dang dude, it’s called small ball. I ended up winning the game, but mind you my previous at bats with Lofton was swings as anyone who has played in years past know how glitchy his swing is.
Just wish people knew how to play certain situations and don’t get mad at you for silly things.
I agree with ya. No bunt cheese but if the situation calls for it just like your example I'm bunting or better yet playing situational baseball like you do!

The dead ball era needs to be forgotten about.
Bunt for a sac is ok
Suicide squeeze is well…

actually bunting does take skill. If you miss with the pci or/and have bad timing, have an average or lower bunk/drag bunt stat, you could pop it up, bunt to hard or at a fielder, or your bunt goes foul. A foul bunt with 2 strikes is an out. So its no automatically a non skill based hit.
Yea but I’m a good player and when I try to bunt it never works but subpar/horrible players bunt it is the perfect bunt every single time. Since when do you move the pci to bunt
️Yeah I don’t think he’s right about having to move pci.

Had the same thing occur very similarly down 1-0 final inning I bunted with acuna and he called me dumb etc and next pitch double which I scored on simply bc he was on second. The sac bunt in this game is way too weak with the ability to turn 2 or pop outs and the bunt for a hit is too easy to pull off. Good for you OP! Especially hall of fame or legend

there's a difference between the guy's bunting in a bunt situation and guys bunting every other batter because they can't get a normal hit.

I’m honestly shocked you have a pci when bunting. It takes such little skill to do it you had to make up a skill that doesn’t exist to make it seem more skillful.
And have to have high bunt, Yea that’s a skill lol. Also one of the best bunters in the game has 43 bunt and 25 drag bunt. Not gonna tell your cheese ball self who it is although he’s probably in your lineup.
Some of the most notorious against the shift bunters are sitting at 36 bunt or lower and if they could do what you consistently do in the game in real life guess what the shift wouldn’t work lol.
And I know how to defend it. It’s just whether you get lucky or not. Because I hate to break it to you nobody is looking at you bunting 30 times a game and stealing bases because the catcher won’t pop and thinking how skillful you are.

I don’t bunt because you can’t hit a bomb if you’re bunting!

Couldn't agree more, I don't mind it if someone does it in certain situations or even try to lay down a drag bunt now and then. It's the ones that do it all the time, but usually u can counterbalance that with a defensive adjustment so I say good luck to the ones that do it all of the time. Btw I probably would have played it the same way u did. Once a runner was at second with 0 out move em over get em in. Just tell the ones that are toxic and message u to watch a baseball game sometime .

It’s tough imagining someone bunting in a video game.
You’re either at least 48 years old and talking about how baseball was better in the old days, or you’re a no skill cheeser.
Smh boomer generation wants to take the easy way out every chance they get

Bunting is the cheesiest thing and the wussiest thing you can do in any sports game ever. It shows you suck and so you just hit a button to bail out cause you're terrible.
Period

If someone is mad about a situational bunt it's because they were too dumb to think of it as an option and didn't try to pitch against the bunt.

People who wear diapers bunt in video games.

Dang, I check my post from this morning and I see a lot of haters for situational bunting. People who hate on it is probably the same players who go for it on fourth and 30 on their own 20 in madden and rage quit when they don’t get the conversion lololol
