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.

With no outs? You absolutely bunt. Every time. You win games by scoring runs at every opportunity. Guy an 3rd with 1 out > guy on 2nd with 1 out. Bunt him over and concentrate on team hitting. Ground ball right side or deep fly ball to score the run. The statistics prove its more efficient than letting the batter swing it.

Please explain how a runner on third with one out is a bad thing.

hysterical that you're being downvoted. Bunting in that situation gives you a *very slight* increase in % chance of scoring at least 1, and a moderate *decrease* in expected runs.
The math is incredibly clear--the optimal decision is not to bunt. Bunting in that situation lowers your win expectancy. It's not even a debate; it's a fact.

All y’all dumb fuks who say you don’t bunt in that situation obviously don’t know how baseball is played. Bunting in that situation is 100% the correct answer and it’s not up for debate.

Agreed. You don’t give up an out with no outs and Runner at 2nd. The op thinks you give up an out to move to 3rd from 2nd when your runner is already in scoring position?
I agree with you. This NOT a bunt situation.
