Garrett,

I like it.

We can call it a “tak bunt” for short.

Lim is probably down to start tonight’s game.

Where was Lim? Why didn’t they use him? Is he hurt or something? (Just kidding!)

This stank. Ryo stank it up first and foremost, but the “offense” must have missed the bus to Zoom Zoom. A few runs early on might have changed the momentum somewhere and kept it within reach.
At least we only used three pitchers….

We need a new term for the kind of sac bunt Takada does. When the player being asked to bunt is a decent hitter, when getting that mythical “one run” wouldn’t help much anyway, when the Swallows are up, when there’s an out, or when the sac bunt just brings up the pitcher or a hitter who’s not as good as the bunter, I shall now call it a “Takada bunt.”

Do it.

He was lucky to escape an addition after putting a clearly out of sorts Lim in the game with a 4 run lead on Tuesday. So……..

TAKADA COUNT: 7

Of course! 0-6 , 1 out and u ask your lead-off man for a bunt? a complete non-sense.

Looking at the pitchers i would insist on Ryo(he cna sometimes have a win) instead of a Ichiba or Muranaka (a loss of sure).

That one out bunt in the third inning is definitely grounds for raising the Takada Count.

Does anyone second the motion?
