Honest question here
What is it about bunting then stealing that makes people get so upset? I mean, you better believe with your infield back and Billy Hamilton up that I'm laying one down. And then yeah, I'm going to take a monster lead. If you aren't going to check over at first, or slide step, or pitchout, he's got second for free. And yeah, Correa is fast as balls too, so there is a good chance I'm bunting with him to move Hamilton over. I'll take a runner on third one out in a lot of situations when I have good contact ready to bring him home.
There are games where they NEVER bring the fielders in for Hamilton or Correa. Then I get shat on for bunting? People need to stop giving away free bases. I see getting pissed at people with all speed teams that literally only bunt, but people need to start playing baseball, using bunt defenses, and pitching out/checking runners.
