In a park where runs are at a premium, bunting Trey was absolutely the right call

I disagree. I’m not super anti bunting, but I’m anti bunting with a guy that’s been hot at the plate and is very hard to double up.

I love the way JJ has handled the lineup and made pitching decisions this entire off-season. Tremendous job of coaching and motivating the team. However, bunting Morgan was not a good decision.
Not when you consider...

Right call because it was an ideal situation for it but wrong batter to execute it. Just let Morgan swing away with instructions to swing early and get every thing high and into right field.

Bunting, in a vacuum, is not a bad call in that situation. But it was a bad call with the variables in THAT situation.
LSU doesn't bunt. It's not their MO/game plan. Second, Morgan as been one of your best hitters in the CWS. Maybe hit hits into a DP. Maybe he strikes out. But I'll play the odds and take my chances with him swinging the bat vs. taking it out of his hands, asking him to do something he rarely does only to then rely on guys who have been lesser hitters in the CWS (really just Dugas compared to Morgan) to come through behind him.

You don’t fricking bunt your 3-hole hitter who has been the only consistent bat in your lineup this entire tournament.

Bunting was the absolute right call...bunting Tre Morgan with 0 sac bunts through 66 games is highly suspect.
