The incident happened at 2nd South & Lea Ave.

Bunting is a stupid play almost all the time unless the pitcher is up.

No one on this team knows how to bunt.

Jerry calls for the bunt at least twice a game not including the times the pitcher bunts.

So if he likes the bunt so much, ignoring how bad of a play it is, at least teach your players how to bunt.
