White is not sharp right now.

I like Rowdy, but at this point, he is hurting the lineup badly. He does not look comfortable at the plate at all right now, and is late on most swings.Quote:

You may say “golly gee that proves it” but it overwhelmingly does not because you can’t successfully sacrifice at a 95% rate, not even close.
I would go ahead and bring in Cole Gordon rather than have White face the tying run.
Keep in mind that is for MLB, better defensive players and on average worse hitting than college, Rowdy isn’t really a 0.200 hitter, but is obviously struggling right now. Don’t think we should be playing guys on a major college team if we think sac bunting is the best option for themQuote:

What a catch. Love the teammates reaction.
Skelton is the one who bunted.Quote:

Sure was. I didn't think he had a chance to get to that ball.Quote:
