we actually attempted to bunt in the 9th he just didn't make contact. Again the point stands you're not taking the bat out of their hands unless its a leadoff situation or a situation like last night down a few runs and need baserunners. The point was when the shift is on during the course of the game you're not having your LH bats just square up to bunt

Nobody really teaches bunting anymore, it stopped awhile back.
Which is so stupid as the art of bunting is simple geometry.
first create an angle with the bat that ensures downward trajectory of the ball.
second, create an angle with either the: (1) head of the bat towards 1st to bunt down third base line or (2) knob of the bat toward third to bunt down first base line.
(opposite for lefties)
After that, just keep the angles and allow the ball to hit the bat (i.e. don't attack the ball with the bat and don't pull back after contact).
It requires some discipline, but it's not the most difficult thing in the world.
