Why batters don't really bunt anymore?

They bunt still. How often are they supposed to bunt? You probably don't see batters bunt because you're a Yankees fan.

your an Astros fan! You have a pitcher bat. I can hit better than that in my sleep.

i hate bunting its just a waste to me sure use it to move runners and all that stuff but they would still get an out so it didnt help

But, if people can actually play small ball they could be more likely to not get out.

Drag Bunting isn't an easy out. And if you lay down a good enough bunt the 3B, catcher, or pitcher might throw wild and you'll be even better off.

My Dad would be so mad right now. He feels that you should never but for a hit, ever, in any circumstance. I feel that while it may be appropriate sometimes, it usually doesn't work, and you are better off just swinging away. i guess people just don't play small ball as much.

Guys don't use steroids to get ripped so they can hit a ball 20 feet. They do so they can hit it 420 feet. Small ball was used for a risk-free way to advance the runners rather than trying to swing away when there's a 30% chance of working. Now, pitchers give their all on every single pitch, so now small-ball is only a 40% chance of working. It's just smart baseball.

Why Terry doesn't wear a batting helmet

I wonder why Terry doesn't wear a helmet

its built in what he does have a big forhead

you never know...

if the power pro team will expand to other sports. well lets face it without mlbpp we would rarely play baseball games and i for one is tired of madden rereleasing the same game they need a NFL power pros or NHL power pros and a MLS power pros for the soccer fans...(the nhl should be good have a player who just got smacked and have the bug eye expresion as they fall

That would be great but there's one problem with all of those; The refs can't blow their whistles.

But considering the MLB power pros might not even come out this year, let's not get too pushy.
