Trust me Lance, me as much as anyone gets what you’re saying. And my DD’s bat was hot as a match at that time, had been for awhile! But this pitcher averaged like 14 or 15 strikeouts a game!I know that I will NOT be bunting one of my big hitters to ensure getting 1 run, when I likely might get 2 or more on 1 swing.
When my DD sees that situation unfold right in front of her….you know, my DD with the hot bat who’s already been on base all three times….and she wants to bunt herself!?
That one (1) run was that important! If it wasn’t against that shutdown pitcher in the State Championship final game….hell yeah, swing away!
