I don't know what run expectancy stats look like for women's fastpitch. That said BA are higher in women's fastpitch then they are in MLB so one may be able to draw a conclusion from that.
It was the right call because your pitcher only gave up 2 runs..you should thank her for making you look good...Okay, no one wins this debate, not argument, debate! Bunting is near and dear to my heart, in my eyes a bunt won us the 2018 State Championship.
Championship game, my DD has already had two hits against this D1 commit who to this day is the best set up pitcher we’ve ever faced, rise ball that was just un-hittable. With two strikes on you she could stand on the rubber and tell you she was going to throw a rise ball, you knew it was coming!
Anna is having some success against her, Anna’s on deck for her 3rd AB, she’s in the 3 hole. No outs, our number 2 is leading off, lefty slapper who’s fast. She slaps one down the 3B line which forced a backhand, 3B throws the ball over the 1B’s head, my runner is standing on 2B with no outs!
Anna’s walking to the box, I’m coaching 1B, I signal to the HC at 3B to bunt Anna and I get a WHAT?? Yes bunt her NOW!
Anna lays down a perfect bunt, we now have a runner on 3rd with one out, she was called out on a very questionable call at 1B, didn’t matter, we scored that all important run and won the game, and the State Championship! Score 3-2, we definitely beat a better team than us!
That bunt was key! Could Anna have hit a double and scored that run, or hit a HR? Who knows, it’ll never matter, it was a huge moment and the right call!
Trophy is in the trophy case!
I honestly can’t argue with that.........damn you pattar! I’m out!I personally was talking about sacr

In fairness to you the statistics presented are just averages. There will always be a place for coaches who are aware of the current game situation and realize the answer the average gives doesn't necessarily apply in the current situation. Maybe you had a good idea that, from the way the batters were swinging against your pitcher that day, one run would increase your probability of winning by a lot.Vertigo, where are you? I’m going over to the leather section where I belong! I’m going to take my State Championship trophy and go home, or to bed in this case!
