>>>I think he was talking about a fake sac bunt. On the fake, the batter will pull the bat away at the last second hoping the ball isn't actually in the strike zone, and might possibly strike out. Has anyone in the history of baseball ever struck out when truly trying for a sac bunt on all 3 strikes?

>Well, I've seen pitchers who bunt badly, but again, missing completely three times for a strikeout on a sac bunt attempt? Usually pitchers bunt it into the air for an easy out because they have no idea how to do it. I agree that in the NL, pitchers should take more time in the cage. For obvious reasons, this is not much of an issue in the junior circuit.
I've see pitchers bunt foul three times, or do a mix of missing and bunting foul. I always curse when I see a pitcher square to bunt with two strikes.
