[QUOTE="Squints, post: 866519, member: 822"] Run expectancy matrices have been created for college baseball and its been found that conclusions still hold for college. At least the last time I checked. It's admittedly been a while. We disagree here. The other team is expecting a bunt here so unless it's a really well executed bunt the chances of getting on are lower then then if he was bunting for a hit in another situation. What we did was advance the runners to take away the dp, give up an out in the process, and let the other team make our best player irrelevant while reintroducing the double play where said double play would end the game. I also think the DP where the two lead runners get caught is flat out not going to happen. He'd have to hit a rocket right at the 3B for that to even be a possibility. The 3B was playing in guarding against the bunt so he hit a ball like that the 3B would have had to make a great play to even handle it. Let alone pull a 5-4 double play. That's clearly what we playing for but there are other possibilities to aim for. Not really. You always fall back on this but the opponent's fielding ability isn't the only thing to consider. You also have to consider game situation, where you are in your line up, the roster construction, and the talent disparity between you and the team you are facing. When I look at our team, the moment they were in that night, and who we were facing the situation to me says let them swing the bat. Hanging your hat on the other team possibly messing up a routine play isn't a great strategy imo. [/QUOTE]
