What I think is most important is that a coach stick to his PHILOSOPHY of baseball, and he should be consistent about it. That way, you can reap the rewards of the “percentages”. However, if a coach is inconsistent with his application of his philosophy, then he is playing “reaction” baseball. That is, he’s not dictating what he wants to do. Just my opinion.

He needed to put that bunt down. It’s a simple play really. A player needs to “want” to bunt and he didn’t “want to” enough. He needed to get it done and he didn’t.

Alot more scoring opportunities with runners on third and second. UCSB probably would have loaded the bases. A hit, wild pitch, sacrifice fly, balk,,,, game tied. Just more scoring possibilities, but we’ll never know because he didn’t make the simple play he was asked to do. Making the fundamental plays gives you a chance for victory.
