We just bunted with runners on first and second and two outs in the third with Ross Highfill up, down 1-0 to Missouri State. It didn't work of course.

And yes, our baseball coaches actually coach baseball for a living.

Early in the season Highfill batting .154 (2-13), may have a better chance at getting on bunting than hitting

Why have him catching? He’s the weakest of the 3 catchers we have on roster defensively.

Lemonis should fire himself. What an embarrassment.

I feel like Highfill did that himself. That said, the coaches have to be worried about they are seeing. I know I am.

I was thinking the same thing. And, we had him in RF last Friday in the 2nd game

Yep. That combined with how things played out last year, this staff seems to hate Joe Powell for some reason.

Highfill likes to bunt for a base hit. He gets down the line in a hurry. Did it successfully yesterday if I’m not mistaken.

Of course he was bunting for a hit. Doesn’t change how dumb it was though. Best case, you’re successful & you still need a hit (or walk or error) from the next batter to score. You haven’t really accomplished anythung. And odds are you’re going to end the inning 70+% of the time. Stupid.

Fair enough. Probably not a great decision odds wise.
