4/26/2024Surprize BuntJoeyT2870
Is there any way to make this more "realistic' ?? Seems like the sim allows this tactic to happen more then it should, and at times when a team would never use it. The number of times I am seeing teams do this with 2 outs is kinda rediculous. Managers in real life are not going to bunt with 2 outs and a runner on 1st a whole lot more then bunt, yet seems like the sim is having teams bunt more lately with this situation, and it's not something you see happening in real life, so why is it so predominant here ??
