Today is another great example against bunting

You cant keep giving outs away to a team that walked 21 batters in their last SEC series. You give them outs instead of making them earn them. You take away from our momentum. You take away chances for us to have big innings. You cannot do that- especially with what looks to be a weak back end of the pen for us. We need all the runs we can score

STOP GIVING AWAY OUTS AND COSTING YOUR TEAM

I can handle the bunts far better than the walks we're giving up... Our pitching staff save Hudson, sexton, and rigby should run bleachers immediately following this game

Lock Cohen in the closet at game time and we host.

Too bad the examples FOR bunting are not constantly whined about on this board. Then everyone would understand why every good college baseball team does it.

It's obvious the back end of our staff is struggling and inexperienced- so we obviously need some big innings in order to compete. Giving away outs to the other team is not helping us do that. It's not a hard concept

This game was on the pitching staff and mainly two guys who are supposed to be draft picks...Houston is a mental midget. I can say worse but no point. Tatum is getting lit up. Where are the guys who were crying for him to be a rotation guy? He isn't. Period

Homedawg- I know the pitching was dogshit today- not debating that.

But bunting with guys in the middle of the order is ludicrous. Especially against a staff that has been struggling itself. You bail them out by giving them outs. Make them work out of jams- don't give them outs and do it for them

Just like Mullen in the Fall- sometime you have to win the game 51-50

Cohen is doing it on purpose to take a stance vs the fanbase. He needs to go. He's pulling a retarded version of Gene Hackman in Hoosiers except he isn't trying to teach his team something he's doing it to show he's the boss to the fans. His ego has put himself on an island alone.

I agree that Cohen's mentality on offense seems to be stuck in the dead bat era. When the GA ace is going and we have our ace going I can live with bunting because each run is vital. Bunting today against the back end of GA's staff and knowing that we were unlikely to hold the opposition down it was just moronic.

He's really not. He really believes all the bunting and shit is what he is supposed to be doing. That is what is so alarming. The fans let him know about it today with the boos. They need to keep it up. And I agree with Will James/Blackout/Dawg62- we need people to start making signs and taking them to ballgames. The fanbase is fed up with that bullshit. Bunting in the 1st 3 innings of any game should get you fired- unless its with Belmont who couldnt hit water if he fell out of a ****ing boat.

That is terrible, here we are 4-2 and u r bitching cause u don't like his style, I'm beginning to think u are in the Bernie For President group.

I hope u have a great Easter and forget bout your misery for Cohen, Stansbury and of course Mullen!

When we are a 3 seed when we should be a 2... When we are a 2 seed when we should be hosting. You're the typical moron peddling this stupid shit. Hello Raylan Givens University... Hello Oral Roberts. Hello traveling for the regionals AGAIN probably to a National Seed cause we couldn't crack the top 24 because we LOSE games we should WIN because, Cohening

He had a losing record last year too with this same philosophy. Just because we are 4-2 right now doesnt mean anything in a 30 game SEC schedule. We have OM coming in next weekend who has owned us lately. We have a tough midweek against USM coming up. There's alot of baseball left.

I'll remind you again Basedog- the fans in the stadium today booed Cohen for bunting. They booed him. Its not just me. Alot of people are sick of this shit

I'm not debating that. Bunting Kruger is stupid. There might be a 1% exception. .... But if you can't win in this league scoring 8 u got problems.

This post has moved you clearly to the top of all ****ing retards on this board. I've been wushu washy who was the biggest idiot, and you have always been in the convo, but this clears it up. Preacher Matt thanks you.

When you score 8 after wasting huge inning opportunities early, you got problems.

Cohen doesn't have direct control if our arms can't execute. He directly controls the decision to limit our offensive output

Yesterday's bunt was fine....today's was one of the worst coaching moves I e seen made in my life. Not only was it early in the game, it was with a man already on 2nd, and we know we have zero pitching beyond Hudson and Sexton. Just an absolutely horrid call. Seriously one of the worst calls ever to bunt Kruger today.

Again I'm not agreeing w every bunt. However I'm certainly not agreeing w you. Look curve and adjust. That in itself shows you are stupid. Why would anyone listen to you...and over and over and over.

See- it wasnt. It's just a symptom of the problem. Making guys like Kruger, Collins, Hump, Rooker bunt just make them hate the game and their coach. I can assure you not one of those guys ever wants to bunt- and they absolutely hate it when they get the signal. And that affects them in other ways. I could see Kruger today when he got the signal to bunt- his whole demeanor changed and he looked totally deflated.

These guys dont see our style of play when being recruited. They are busy playing all the time. HS guys get to see a few games- but the guys that transfer from jucos have no freaking idea about #Cohening when they sign with us. Kruger's body language at the plate today after he was given the signal said it all

Far far from a moron, if I'm a typical Msu fan I'll take that with pride. Yes I bleed maroon and white and I don't always agree with coaches. I just don't bitch like a moaning little girl. U remind me of my kids "when are we gonna get there". Quit the bitching on every pitch and let's see how the season goes.

Not to mention they've never had to bunt in their lives and probably haven't even practiced it but a few times. If someone can't bunt, don't call a bunt. All other reasons aside. You don't draw up a Gavin Ware 3 play do you? No.

We did that in 2012 and 2014 when you "we're winning so what" crowd were vocal. Last year wiped away his benefit of the doubt or "let's see how it plays out"

I love it bro, you never played, your posts show it. You top it off w look curve and adjust. Anyone w a brain can see you have no clue on the sport. However you and all other sabermatric people are great readers on the topic. Unfortunately you didn't read anything about hitting.

Damn, the one thing I thought you were good at- reading...and you failed. Find in this thread where I defended the bunt??? Actually, I said, since I need to spell it out for you, I disagree w bunting Kruger too.....I did blame the loss on pitching, which is true that when u score 8 runs that's should suffice.
