So instead if hitting into an ending inning double play; he was brave enough to try a suicide squeeze with the bases loaded.

Seems like good small ball.

Also, you start off the post with the words I do not see why all the hate then proceed to complain that he made a successful suicide squeeze.

So you call pressing a button and letting the game do the work brave? Interesting. Yes it is great small ball in real life where it takes skill to lay down a squeeze bunt but not in this game. Lastly, I was saying I do not see the hate because I do not see why people would hate on someone talking about the people who bunt dance and do all of that [censored] but what I was complaining about was someone letting the game bail them out to win a game. You say made a successful suicide squeeze as if the player actually had to do anything to get that down beside press a button. The game laid down a successful suicide squeeze, not the player I played.

And if he would've hit a Grand Slam to win it; would that have been the game 'bailing him out'? Because technically, all he had to do was, in your words, 'hit a button'.

Wrong. Like I told the other guy, in order to hit in this game you have to time the pitch up, get your pci to it and then press the x/square button so that actually takes some sort of skill. I would of had no issue if he hit a grandslam. Bunting is literally just pressing the triangle button and letting the game do the work so those are two totally different things.

Pretty sure you still need to move the PCI to bunt.

However; I assume we're discussing the game vs AMBBBY.

If so; this is the Game Log for the bottom of the 9th:

He doubled to left field with Yelich and then he bunted Yelich over to 3rd with Mondesi. I would say that's smart.

Then you proceed to walk the bases loaded by walking Ruth and Tatis.

He then comes up to bat with Jimmie Foxx. Who bunted to third and it looks like Brett bobbled the ball (says it was an Error).

Was it cheap to bunt with Foxx? Maybe. But he took a chance and it paid off.

Now, you're a 100 Prestige level player and have over 500 RS games played; so you've 'been around'.

He bunted earlier in the inning. Did you put you shift into Bunt Defense when he came up with Foxx?

Because someone with your 'play Time' would think that a bunt would catch me off surprise here; so I better be prepared.

You weren't prepared. He took a gamble and it paid off.

I think I can safely say that ANY competitive player would agree with me that it wasnt the game out 'bailing him out'. It was just a situation where he knew your defense and took a shot.

Sorry but you're wrong again with two things. First off you literally don't need to use your pci to bunt. Just press triangle and the computer does the work for you. Second, he did bunt with Mondesi which I have no problem with because it was a sac bunt which is fine to me. Third, I had the third and first baseman playing in for Foxx with the second baseman and shortstop back in case he hits a grounder up the middle for a double play so my defense was exactly as it should have been. There was no error, it was a hard bunt right to Brett (who was playing in) and thee was no bobble. He stole and bunted so by the time Brett got the ball the runner on third was a few steps from home so there was no chance so don't assume I was not prepared when I literally was. Anyways I just don't believe in winning that way. That's not the way I would go about it just like I wouldn't ask for prestige stats in event games like a lot of these players but it is what it is. Have a good day.

Honestly, this is whiney, sore loser talk. As a baseball coach, he got you, plain and simple. You didn't suspect a bunt in that situation, otherwise you'd of thrown a ball high and tight trying to get a pop up (which would result in a gimme double play or down and in to make it where he either 1) bunts it foul or 2) whiffs and you get the guy stealing at the plate. You can argue that the game did the work for him and it took no skill all you want, but at the end of the day, the same can be said that you showed no skill either by not scheming around it with how you were pitching to Foxx.
