because he thought Deichman could win the game in that spot.
and even though he hit into a DP, it's an unlikely scenario, being the 3rd fastest player on the team.
meaning he can pull the ball, advance the runner, and be in the same situation pretty much at worst. Or the ball could find its way into the OF and walk off
If that was his thought process the it wasn't ego, he was just plain wrong. You HAVE to bunt there. It's not up for debate.

Well, let's not go crazy. It is debatable. It just doesn't mean he is immune from criticism. The data suggests that a bunt there optimizes your chances to win. It isn't the only decision, but you can't brush off the criticism by saying "well you guys just don't know baseball." Knowing baseball means knowing what the optimal play is there and being held accountable when you choose a different strategy.
