In yesterday’s Yankees-Red Sox game, the Sox got the leadoff man on in the 8th, and then bunted. Stanton fielded the ball and threw to second. They probably would of had the runner, but the throw hit Jeter’s glove and then the ground. It was like the World Series all over again. Why do pitchers try to make this play? Even if it’s a bad bunt, you always rush the throw to 2nd. Take your time, and make the play to first. The runner on second won’t score if you get the remaining two batters out.
The only pitcher I can think of who can make this play is Pettitte. Andy never rushes his throws to any base.
