[@CMac15]

Wasn’t that good. It was an out. Edit: man the number of you getting big mad for suggesting a bunt that results in neither a hit nor an advanced runner may not qualify as being particularly good is wild! 😂 A) For those arguing he was safe, he was ruled out. This is fact. He may have ended up on his azz but the pitcher won this exchange by taking the shot and getting the out. B) For those stressing “but that placement tho!” Give me a break with this. I’m rather certain none of y’all sit around watching replays of expertly placed but unsuccessful bunts. What you like about this bunt is the violence. Period.

Lenny was the definition of a role player. Enough to make it and last for 10+ years.

[@davideloewen]

The pitcher got decked, but still tagged the batter out on his way to first, he was holding the ball up to prove it to the ump,... ...so even though the first baseman tackled him, it really didn't matter if the dude made it first or not.

Didnt he just throw ball on the batter in the first scene? 😅

It's just a wild pitch. They happen. Batter obviously thought more of it than the pitcher. Plus it was a different inning. Getting hit is an automatic walk.

Other interesting tidbits, the pitcher didn't drop the ball even when hit HARD, but also runs over to the beating in progress because hitting a guy with a fast ball wasn't enough. Bunting is also a commitment, worthy of praise. It takes more guts to bunt that to swing the bat as hard as possible
