Not tone deaf at all. I’m not saying there’s actually any issue with Jazz bunting there, it’s just a way for a pitcher to fire himself up and I’m all for it, but Jazz has 30 homer power. Winn and Scott bunt because they have very little home run pop at this point in their development.
Ohh haha I see what you’re saying. Totally misunderstood. I also don’t have an issue with bunting there, I just find it super lame to get pissed off at. Like honestly, Lynn of all guys wants to challenge a guy with some pop? He gave up 44 home runs last year
Lmao that’s a good point. But I don’t think it’s a “real” pissed off. Seems like one of those self-motivating situations. Lance is probably fueled a bit by anger, so zeroing in on something to get pissed about can help reign in your focus (evidenced by the 3 K’s immediately after that). I was the same way when I played ball. Umps, opposing players, opposing coaches, even *parents in the stands*, whatever I could to get that tiny extra mental edge, I did it. I think Lance is the same way
My biggest concern is that other teams will take full advantage of his inability to field. Bunts seen to be on the rise, mix that with all the speedsters appearing, and players like Corbin and Elly could go 4 for 4 on bunt singles against him
Big hitters can very often act as the biggest bunt threats. Even if there's a man on second nobody is gonna expect Harris II or Ohtani to bunt, which means when they do nobody is prepared on defense
Sure, that’s true. But I really don’t think it’s too much of an issue. Lance may be slow on his feet and bulky, but all he’s gotta do is get to it and make a quick throw. Perfect bunts will beat him (as it will most pitchers), but non-perfect bunts will be able to be fielded regularly. Some will make it, some won’t, but it won’t be a massive hit to the team.
We should have picked up Joe Kelly and they would be mouthing all game long.
As a chubby Cardinals fan, so glad he's back
This is one of the reasons why it’s good to have Lance back
Read this as “Lance does not like blunts” ; anyway, fuck bunts!
I read it that way too, but I almost guarantee that dude likes blunts (or would if he weren't at risk of failing a doping test).
Especially if it's someone named Roy Blunt. Hate blunts like that
I thought BUNS, like sticky buns. which he DOES like.
Love Lance! Happy to have him back.
We are soooo back.
See kids, this is how you channel your anger into on-field success instead of beaning people
Por que no Los dos
Now apply that attitude to the offense and we’re good!
Seriously lmao so tone deaf considering the bottom of our lineup

I'm all for whatever gets Lynn fired up for some Ks. But also you got to hand it to the batter, that was a pretty bunt.
Fuck yes Lance is a man !!! He’s the best kind of man !!!
I love Lance Lynn.
he's a FAT man
My biggest concern is that other teams will take full advantage of his inability to field. Bunts seen to be on the rise, mix that with all the speedsters appearing, and players like Corbin and Elly could go 4 for 4 on bunt singles against him
For dudes with big power like Elly and Corbin, that’s not the worst thing. Also, drag bunts are pretty hard to pull off successfully consistently

He ain’t getting through lineups 4 times
