No. You do not bunt.

Sorry. That is not the right answer. And anybody with any up-to-date baseball knowledge will tell you that.

The only shitty part is he bunts him over and then the next hitters can not score him. We see it every game. They are bad situational hitters with poor plate awareness.

Correct answer is the game and the player dictate it

No one with any modern, analytically inclined view of baseball would even consider bunting in this situation. There may be ample reasons to criticize PM at this point, but this isn’t one.

In some situations yes, not today. I would've took a risk with who was up to bat too.

Yep, bunt him to third, then get a homer or a sac fly.

This is third the time I post this, it’s a scoring problem, not a hitting problem and this situation is a perfect example.

These days, giving away outs isn't advisable. You only have 27 outs. Make them earn all of them.

With a runner on 2nd and no outs in the 6th, again... no outs.... you have a chance to score several runs in the inning. And with plenty of game left, you try and let your hitters do the work.

In the 8th inning, down a run and a runner on 2nd with no outs... I'm ok bunting in that situation.

Wrong answer. You call for a left-handed pinch hitter who has a better than .300 batting average, to hit the ball sharply to the opposite field and drive in the run.

Paul Ball sucks, and I'm sick of it. Boycotting LSU baseball til I see noticable improvement--enough is enough.

I called out his refusal to play small ball in order to advance runners to set up runs last year and got blasted on here

21 ways to score from third that you can’t from second. Yes percentages say you move the runner .
