Can't Sleep. Hopped Up On Bunts. | Defector
Briefly

On the author's first day of work, he recounts watching Oregon State's unusual baseball strategies, particularly their use of three consecutive bunts during a game against USC. This rare tactic contrasts sharply with the more common pursuit of home runs, suggesting a deliberate disruption of conventional play. The OSU manager's dismissive comments about the strategy were met with skepticism, as the team followed up with successful home runs, demonstrating their capability beyond just bunting. The piece highlights the complex and often unpredictable nature of baseball strategy and gameplay.
Three bunts in a row means you are Up To Something.
The manager rather halfassedly feigned innocence: 'Just following the flow of our guys right there, and the looks they were giving us.' Horseshit!
