From: The Venerable Sarge on 23 Apr 2010 19:35 David should have been watching the Mets game. Hinske ( no speed ) batting lefty - the Mets shift around to the right side - and Hinske bunts in straight down the 3rd baseline - ball gets past the bag before Wright can reach it - no throw.

Ever since the Yankees beat the Sox several years ago by the Sox using that shift on Giambi and him doing exactly what Sarge described I've hated seeing them use it. -- 'I'm constantly amazed at your ability to live.'

I think I recall that. I was begging for that again last night. I'd like to think he had it in mind. I wonder if anyone asked him after the game. Or if he was even talking.

Ortiz last bunt hit was 2006. He had 3 that year. His only other successful bunt was in 2005 |
