Why has the bunt become extinct to the run deficient Boston Red Sox?
I have a personal fondness for bunting or even slap hitting to get on base or move a runner over. As a young player, I will use the local vernacular to describe my hitting abilities: “I sucked!” As a pitcher I was required to hit – it was that long ago. Coaches would instruct me on bunting and to hit down on the ball. Good things can happen when a ball is in play. Bad things happen when you are three and done.
Any bunt in which there was a runner on base and less than two outs in which the batter was put out and at least one runner advanced.
