Will We See More Bunting in 2010?
Posted on October 6th, 2009 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Gwen Knapp of the San Francisco Chronicle says when Bruce Bochy expressed his opinion on bunting – “You only get 27 outs, and I hate giving up an out” – it was read as gospel. When the Giants repeatedly failed to manufacture the one or two runs per game that might have pushed the team into the playoffs and Tim Lincecum toward 20 wins, it was interpreted as a manual for failure.
Bochy talked about making adjustments for next season, and about editing gospel.
“My message,” he said, “will be: We’re all going to bunt. Let’s all be ready to bunt, throughout the order.”
Bochy expects “a major-league hitter to be able to move a runner over without having to bunt.”
