<![CDATA[Why is the bunt dance so common online?]]>I swear like one out of every 3 games people do this fake bunt before every pitch. Sometimes the bunt dance and sometimes just one bunt. From the beginning of the game.

What is the point?

Find a core group of 29 other guys you can trust to play base ball the right way and don't deviate from that core.
You play against weirdos, they'll burn you every time.

They think it helps swing timing and mess up pitches.

Usually fixes the issue, but sometimes they are such big chodes it takes a few more times. But I’ve always been able to kill the music of the bunt dancer.

Maybe they're early on everything. Maybe.
