    players hate bunting and doing it too much will hurt recruiting

    I’m talking bunting against the shift. Or hitting it the other way. Players might not like to bunt but fans hate players hitting into the shift for an out every at bat. Fans also like winning.

    agree with you completely about hitting the other way. We dont do it near enough.

    As far as bunting goes- players just arent going to do it today for the most part. You see them in sac ops miss on purpose or pull the bat back on a pitch down the middle they could easily bunt. Bunting has become a lost art
