I’m ordering French fries for lunch...........dinner and breakfast
You need more variety in your diet.

French toast for Breakfast
French fries with a burger with French's mustard for lunch
French Dip for Dinner!
I must be getting supersticious in my old age. Ask Beckys we had French Dip last night for dinner. Spooky.

Are you guys surprised that with 2 strikes more guys dont try a bunt against an extreme shift? Especially in the lead off spot?

I'd have Toro bunt there ALL day.

Good point.

But even so, in an 0-2 hole the avg OPS in the majors is like .300 or something ha. I'd rather a guy bunt out than K considering how the D is set up.

No, they aren't good at bunting and highly likely to miss or bunt foul.

Yeah except that he just missed and struck out. Which happens the vast majority of time in an 0-2 count. A guy like Toro seems like he'd be adept in bunting.
