This is shocking and infuriating at the same damn time. It's bad.. Real bad... Makes what we are doing this year EVEN WORSE THAN WE IMAGINED!!!! Last year Cohen got away from bunting the man over from first, and with good reason when we see the results. BUT, he LOVED bunting the man over from 2nd.


Man on 1st, 0 outs
Boyd says you score 49% of the time here.
We bunt 6 times.. We score just 1 time.... Zero instances of scoring multiple runs...
Boyd says to score 49%, we score just 17% bunting.

We DONT BUNT 86 times.. We score 40 times... 20 instances of scoring multiple runs..
Boyd says to score 49%, we score 47% not bunting. HALF of those times we have a big inning (2+ runs).


Man on 2nd, 0 outs
Boyd says you score 70% of the time here.
We bunt 11 times.. We score just 4 times.. Zero instances of scoring multiple runs...
Boyd says to score 70%, we score just 36% bunting.

We DONT BUNT 5 times.. We score 4 times.. 2 instances of scoring multiple runs..
Boyd says to score 70%, we score 80% not bunting. HALF of those times we have a big inning (2+ runs).


So we bunt one man over 17 times last year, scoring just 5 times, having ZERO big innings (2+ runs). This has been our bread and butter this year!! Cohen! WTF! DO NOT BUNT ONE MAN OVER ANYMORE!


1st and 2nd, 0 outs
Boyd says you score 71% of the time here.
We bunt 10 times.. We score 6 times.. 4 instances of multiple runs.
Boyd says to score 71%, we score 60%.. 4/6 big innings with 2 already on base.

We DONT BUNT 10 times.. We score 8 times.. 5 instances of multiple runs.
Boyd says to score 71% of the time, we score 80% of the time.. 5/8 big innings.

So in conclusion, it is what we have come to expect. The one man bunting over is a stupid, run-draining play. We base a TON of our offense on this play, much moreso this year than last. Offense is supposed to be UP this year, yet we are doing the opposite.

We already have FOUR move one man over bunts in SEC play in 3 games.. We only had 17 in 30 games last year.
