Executing a hit and run doesn't automatically mean a base hit. If it did then every coach should just call a hit and run every single time there is a man on base.

And bunting (if he evens gets it down) doesnt automatically mean runner on 2nd with 1 out. Of course it's not a guaranteed grounder through the 2nd base hole everytime, but in a 2-0 count w/ Rhymes a ground ball hitter and good overall hitter, you have to trust that one of your better hitters can do what he's been coached to do and hit the ball on the ground to the right side right? It's 2-0, you know he's getting a fastball and then Berg threw one perfectly on the outside corner, a tailor-made hit and run pitch and Rhymes pulled it. Exactly what he's NOT supposed to do.
