Fla-Ore game today. Demonstration by JMendo was supposed to be the "drag bunt".
Apparently, no one in softball knows that on a drag bunt, the idea is to "drag" the ball, not drop it dead in front of the plate. Then, of course, the THs had to note what a great "drag" bunt a UF player laid down about 2' in front of the plate.
I almost forgot, when you drag bunt, you stay square to the plate, never open up toward 1B.
I'm absolute stunned that I missed the complete rewriting of the Official Dictionary and Encyclopedia of Sports Terms.
