GDT - Jays at Rockies (Game 1 of 3)

[Spanky99]

yeah seems it is still used, but not nearly to the extent like it was say 20 years ago. probably just a result of the newer philosophy in hitting that is less situational in manner

 

I've rarely seen it this year, just bunt. I despise it. Although it hasn't happened recently.

Yeah bunt is generally not a good idea (unless you are Billy Hamilton); although may in limited situations make sense (such as the pitcher coming up to bat with a man at 1st and less than 2 outs). As far as the hit and run: f*** I hate seeing my team hit into a 'ground into double play', so maybe I am a bit biased towards that one.

Agreed, the bunt is fine late in games with someone soft AB, the hit and run rocks with a contact hitter.

I've said this time and again, I use em for comedy relief. Same goes for other teams.

 

Did you catch Buck calling Gurriel Guerrero a couple times. To be fair , they both start with G. This was just after Vladdy's home run.

Apparently I did make it on to TV. Was sitting next to this Canadian couple and the girl was holding a "Glad to see Vlad" sign. I'll be damned if I'm going to pour through 3.5 hours of the game to find it though.

This sounds like a job for King.
