Dude. You have the fastest guy in the conference and a good bunter at the plate in a tie game with men on first and second with 1 out in the 8th inning wasn't it? YOU BUNT EVERY MOTHER ******** TIME!!! Any other time I agree I hate bunting

Actually, lets discuss the exact situation. It appears there is slightly better chance to score a single run in the situation where you bunt there. However, for Stevenson in particular, he drives a ton of balls into the gound for high bouncing infield singles. So redfield and ell, would you think if we broke down the individual metrics for just Stevenson, do you think it may actually favor the hit and run specifically? I think it would be interesting to see. I dont think we are far away from MLB managers having saber metrics on each individual player
