BUNTING MANIPULATES PITCHER APPROACH AND SETS THE TABLE FOR FUTURE MOMENTSView quoted post on X
With 2 outs and no body on in the 3rd inning, losing 4-0, @Brewers Manager Pat Murphy told #9 hitter David Hamilton to lay down a bunt in a seemingly unimportant at bat.
Why?
Because Murphy knew Hamilton was known for bunting and they could set the table for a future at bat and big moment later in the game where he’d get a pitch to hit.
And that’s exactly what happened.
Hamilton bunted.
Hamilton got out.
But in the 5th, in Hamilton’s next at bat, he got a pitch in the heart of the plate and singled scoring a run and bringing the Brewers within 1.
And in the 9th, Hamilton did it again, homering on a get me over slider and extending the Brewers lead to 6-4.
You bunt to create future moments, and the Brewers did just that.

Here are seven truths I know about recruiting:View quoted post on X
1. Fit matters more than hype.
2. Development matters more than promises.
3. Your role matters more than the logo.
4. Relationships matter when adversity arrives.
5. Money must be considered—but it cannot be the only consideration.
6. Every opportunity has a cost.
7. The wrong decision can delay a career that the right decision would accelerate.
Recruiting has changed.
Human nature has not.
