What are the odds of it actually working with a hitter who was cold on the night? 1 in three, at best?

All Rhymes needed was contact. Rhymes was hitting ground balls. That is perfect for a hit and run. It isn't like he swings and misses a lot. So I would say the odds of it working were very good.

Are you saying he was wrong for having the bunt on the first two pitches?

No dipshit, I am saying to hit and run on a 2-0 pitch with the best contact hitter on the team when the pitcher has to throw a strike isn't a bad call. Had the ball been fouled off, PM would have gone right back to the bunt on the 2-1 pitch.

Which he did.

Rhymes has hit into an incredible amount of DP's in similar situations.

no, he hits into a hell of a lot of DP's.

Sounds like you are over thinking this. Baseball 101, move the runner over, tie the game on a hit to the outfield. He gambled and lost.
