Nice piece of situational hitting from Duran. I thought he looked a bit lost to start the AB.

How come all teams can bunt except the Red Sox.

Cora was a good field no hit guy, you’d think he’d stress it.
Duran in the field!!
I would put a premium on a team of guys that can't bunt because it removes the temptation to do it.

With some of the below mendoza hitters we have to use this year it would be nice if a few of them could bunt. There are situations were we could steal a game or two because of it.

Not a fan of the sac bunt, but a surprise bunt for a base hit now and then is nice. Especially for a guy like Ceddanne who could use it as a morale boost.
Yeah, it's fun when it happens. Especially like when you got those bunts for a double back when there were crazy shifts. But it seems like maybe it works two or three times a year tops even for teams that do it.
