    Bunt success rates are actually up a tick since 2022, now close to 67% as compared to 60% back when pitchers got to hit. That's probably because they've now removed the worst offenders from the picture and only guys who are accomplished at it are asked to do it. My experience was limited, but I would rather try to lay down a bunt on a sweeping curve ball than on the high heat.

    I should have fact checked before responding. Turns out Andrew Monasterio DOES know how to bunt! 31 successful bunts in his professional career, 26 of em in the minors and 5 overseas, in his ten year career. So he can do it, he just didn't do it today. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=monast000and

    I don't disagree with the principle. My question is, how does a guy whose hit tools are substandard at this level get to this point without ever being asked to learn that craft? This is one example among so many of how the obsession with the long ball is happening to the detriment of the game. If Monestario, like so many thousands of mediocre hitters who came before him, were able to lay down a bunt, the Brewers are a heavy favorite to tie it up or take the lead in the 8th.

    Well I guess it doesn't matter since apparently nobody can hit the *&^% baseball today.

    Capra if he can bunt. Or Hoskins and then move him to first, Bauers to LF and Frelick to 3rd. Gotta capitalize with first and second and no outs.

    Why is Monestario hitting here???

    Thank you. I stumbled across this site a couple of weeks ago, like what I see in the way of thoughtful, informed commentary.

    While the bats and the baserunning have been great, one concern I have so far is the bullpen. The struggles of Uribe and Peguero have been the most visible, and both have been unlucky so far with BABIPs in the .350 range (or maybe they're just serving up a lot of hard hit balls?). The guys who are having success so far--Payamps, Hudson, Milner--have all been comparatively lucky, with BABIPs at or well below the Mendoza. So you have to wonder, is that early season success sustainable? Bullpen success is the hardest thing to predict from year to year, and three weeks isn't enough to draw any real conclusions from. But the concern is there and it makes following their games a little more nerve wracking.
