you should trust one of the best hitters in your lineup to produce in any situation he had an unlucky bounce cost the game.

this is the guy who last week said he would sac bunt miguel cabrera (major league 2012 double play leader) in the fourth inning of the world series. so take all this with a grain of salt.
I said in the World series late in the game if you need to move a runner over I would bunt Cabrera or who ever it is I don't give a fawk how many HR's the guy has or if hes hitting .600. The correct call is to bunt and move the runner over into scoring position.

But in that situation, where you NEED one and only one run to continue the game, you bunt. Bunting actually nets you on average less runs, but more innings where you score at least 1 run...which is all we needed.
And I couldn't disagree more. If you managed the 2001 Giants, I think Bonds would have finished the year with double digit sac bunts.

Did you even watch the game?

Not at all. If its Bregs/Katz/Jacoby or even Ibarra up there you may be able to consider letting them take a hack because they all have enough power to the gaps to get the run across if they grove one. Rhymes is a ground ball singles hitter which is why he had no business swinging away there.

Rhymes's double play would've turned out much differently if the 3rd baseman had thrown it into right field, if we want to count on pressuring the fielder.

the way I look at it is this..
Is there a better chance of getting two hits from three batters or one hit from 2 batters
I bunt every time, no matter who is up

This is a glass half-empty viewpoint.
It's also a way to getting a run (game tying run in this case) in scoring position. The fact that T Moore got that hit the very next AB made the DP much worse.

assuming people are saying the bunt worked for UCLA tonight, it actually didn't.
Bunt for a single turned into an error gets to second moved to third by ground out sac fly
then guy got to second (yes with bunt) and error brought him in.
the typical bunt him to second get a base hit never worked for UCLA tonight.

Its the freakin 9th inning you bunt the ball. This is not a mid week game against Tulane where you let them all swing away. Its Game 1 of the College World Series its the 9th inning with a runner on 1st and no outs. You bunt the damn ball...

yeah, UCLA's sac bunting didn't get them anything. They just kept wasting the leadoff guy one. Now their bunt for a hit worked out due to our poor fielding.

Easy one. You put your tying run on second base and eliminate the DP possibility..

No frickin way. When you're in a tight game against a team that executes fundamentals flawlessly, you SHOULD BE PLAYING FUNDAMENTAL BASEBALL! Bunting Rhymes was the correct call. YOU DON'T LET A DOUBLE PLAY MACHINE SWING AWAY IN THAT SITUATION! Maneri was soundly out-coached tonight!
Another example... hitter swinging at first pitches from the 7th inning on. FUNDAMENTALS call for taking until you get a strike, especially being behind. Really pissed off at Manieri tonight.
Hope we can find a way to get back in it on Tuesday.
