If you've decided to bunt why accept such a huge defensive drop off at catcher? I wouldn't call this a bad decision, but it's suspect.

look no guarantee he is going to bunt it successfully if its a bad bunt he may be thrown out at third. the distance of the pop fly needs to be further because of ross slow speed. Bring in a speed guy don't worry about being thrown out at third if a hard bunt, and you can hit it shorter and still get the run in. It was a no brainer call and EVERY coach in baseball would make the swap. You want to win it doesn't matter if you have a good defensive catcher in the bottom of the inning if you take the lead, and it the lead matters more then defense at that point of the game.
