Get StartedIt depends on the situation. Who is on base, where is the game being played, etc. Ortiz still fails the majority of the time, as good as he is as a dh. That's just the way baseball stacks up. A few successful bunts from Ortiz with men on base against the shift would change the way the shift is implemented.
I get that..but there's a reason why they don't bunt. Burning in of itself is usually a bad move. Some say it takes the bat away..just giving up an out.
We're not talking about giving away an out. Sacrifice bunting is a completely different subject and I'm lukewarm to it at best. Bunting against the shift is bunting with the intent of reaching first base with a hit. The defense is the one giving up a free base.
But then you're assuming some of those guys can get one down. You say free base like it's easy..it's not.
