Burns first pitch swinging after like 6 full counts grounds out to first.

From bases loaded, no outs, we only manage 1 run.

Re: #91 Tulane vs #45 WSU
Bases loaded and no outs and we get 1 run. Thanks for trying to bunt and putting one of our better hitters in a 2 strike count with 2 on and no outs. Great job.

We practice bunting more than any other team in America, Gerry. Why would we do that if we aren't going to use it in a game?

We probably did a bunt only scrimmage in Tampa. I forgot the 2nd inning is the ideal time to bunttulaneoutlaw wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 11:02 amWe practice bunting more than any other team in America, Gerry. Why would we do that if we aren't going to use it in a game?

Non-issue as he reached base. Burns swinging at the first pitch was the worst decision of that inning.
The bigger issue is that Olthoff forgot how to pitch during his weeks off.

It's not a non-issue. It speaks to his whole philosophy. And if you don't thing Baumgardt had a different approach down 1-2 you're crazy.

Re: #91 Tulane vs #45 WSU
I was ok with that. Pitcher is wild and you think he has to come down the middle of the plate to get ahead of the batter. Pitches like that should make Burns a .500 hitter. He just didn't execute.

I should reverse jinx every batter that comes up

Re: #91 Tulane vs #45 WSU
I agree with that, but since day 1 we’ve known his philosophy was to bunt with two on and nobody out regardless of the batter. It worked out temporarily despite him not being able to get a bunt down. He was left on base so it didn’t really matter in the end.gerryb323 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 11:10 amIt's not a non-issue. It speaks to his whole philosophy.

Re: #91 Tulane vs #45 WSU
What actually happened is our batters forgot how to hit. Just as they were reaching their stride.

I’m ok too if his first AB wasn’t also a first pitch grounder to 1st base.

They either strike out or get on base. The catcher is the only batter to not strikeout yet.
Just recorded his second out not by K

A decent bunt gets Englehard to 3rd.
