Will Chipper teach them to bunt?

I got good at hen pecking with my left, but this is truly getting on my nerves. Type hundreds of lines of code each day is tedious. Try hitting the "A" key with my pinky feels like my body is assaulted by needles. Oh I have Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and I do not wish this on anyone. I can take getting my guts spilled out and reattached, but this is way worse as the pain never goes away.
But getting back to topic, how will the new management approach the draft? The old way was pitching heavy with a few we thought were really good but did not pan out. Wouldn't it be better just get the best player available? We missed out on some good players, Trout being one of them, right?
I'd rather Chipper's Dad for hitting coach.

that was with 2 strikes !!!
How's bout 50, pitchers don't throw buntable pitches in bunting situation. That was the case with Ramos - w/ 2 strikes SF pitcher threw fastball right down the pipe.
Isn't baseball a fun game ??
That's true 57. I was just surprised that Bumgarner threw two killer pitches on strikes 1 and 2 and then serves up a lollipop that Ramos can bunt.
I guess my point is that the art of bunting has eroded to the point where the hitter almost needs to have a lollipop to bunt. Old-time bunters like Nellie Fox from the 1950s up to guys like Jay Bell in the 1980s and 1990s seemed to be able to bunt just about anything.
Maddux seemingly put down a bunt wherever the ball was pitched.

I suggest a general hitting coach and a bunting/hit and run/squeeze/baserunning coach.
Give glav a raise. He's already a special assistant to the gm make him the bunting instructor during spring.

The idea of having our pitcher take bunting practice is fine and dandy until someone breaks a bone, gets hit in the head, jams a finger, etc. Then the organization is a bunch of morons.
Bring the DH to both leagues, pitchers are a joke offensively.

Yes bring the DH to the NL so we can hit for BJ.
