I honestly do not believe there is a single MLB manager that makes the same call as CPM.

You don't know what you are talking about if you think every manager is going to take the bat out of the hands of a batter that is hitting .395.

After a bunt the DP is out as well.

Assuming they don't walk Nola to set up the double play.

There is a good chance that after walking Nola that the corners are playing in to get the run at home on a ground ball to 3rd or 1st base.

So, you'd be relying on Leon who has a reputation of not coming through with men on base.

The bunt wouldn't not have been a bad call. But, to say that it's a call that every manager makes is simply untrue and frankly ignorant when you consider your best hitter on the team is at the plate.
