Pure barrels or cut!

Yikes. Is that what happens to you when you play short stop for the Red Sox too long?

Might have been PED induced..no idea

Why didn't you hit the first one? Why wait to the second?

My aim was off so made the adjustment.. When bunting are you not aiming for a certain part of the ball ?

What's the difference in aiming at and hitting the center vs aiming at and hitting one inch below center? If you can be accurate doing one, there's nothing preventing you from being accurate doing the other. Right?
That's probably what you said but I haven't had my coffee yet.

That's precisely what I said . Plus it's been determined that all pitches drop to a certain degree(Personally I still believe a good rise ball will continue an upward trajectory, but let's not open that can of worms), so if are trying to hit the ball just below center it puts you in a good position to make solid contact with idea barrel path. JMHO

Just being picky here, not sure about 1 inch below center.. might be too much?

I think there needs to be a distinction between the "thought/feeling of swinging down on the ball" and actually doing it. Having pelvic tilt and a contact point out in front can yield a positive attack angle (uppercut) even when the hitter is trying to swing down at the ball. In my experience, that feeling/thought of swinging down on the ball appears to be beneficial to some hitters and not for others...

Not gonna lie, I have been hit in the chest by a line drive that knuckled. I could see the logo coming at me before it went left a foot....scary.

Knuckles are scary.. generally I just close my eyes and hope for the best

My argument is, if a hitter is going to "try" to hit the center of the ball, might as well "try" to hit just below center. Again accuracy of actually hitting what you mean to has got to be somewhere around 10% of the time.. maybe . Statistics on the spur of the moment again

You guys were just too good..I was trying to hit the ball.

You don't have to be good to try... "Aim Small, Miss Small"

BTW, I was just trying to hit the ball as well LOL.. but again I am saying there are those here saying you should aim for the center of the ball.. if I was going to aim, I would aim to do damage

You're probably on to something he didn't do that silliness at GT when he weighed 135

Yeah I hear you but I am not even sure the sort of focus which supposedly is better when hitting ("soft" focus?) to use while hitting is even conducive to attempting to pick up the ball like that but whatever.
