Comments on: Was Pablo Sandoval’s bunt OK? http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/06/was-pablo-sandovals-bunt-ok/ An A's-Giants blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:49:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brad Jensen http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/06/was-pablo-sandovals-bunt-ok/comment-page-1/#comment-2879 Brad Jensen Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:28:57 +0000 http://baybridgebaseball.com/?p=1128#comment-2879 I thought it was a smart baseball play. The game was deadlocked, Mazzaro and Lincecum were both dealing, and he spotted an opportunity to get on base and laid down a very good bunt. If it was the 8th or 9th you could start talking about ettiquette but not that early in the game. I thought it was a smart baseball play.

It was the fifth inning, hardly anywhere close to being a no-hitter, so I give Sandoval kudos for doing something to get his team going. If it was the 7th or something, and that happened, ok, maybe then I can see your point. But not when it's a close game in the fifth.That aside, the A's didn't seem to have a problem with it, only the A's fans ... Louie K, sorry dude … but that was not a puss move.

This illustrates why Sandoval is batting over .300. I wish he would show Burriss and Lewis how to bunt more and maybe then they would not slump so badly.

In a one-run game, say, no etiquette ought to apply, since it's the batter's job and duty to get on base for his team to have a chance to win.
