[QUOTE="TopFrog, post: 810111, member: 120"] Interesting. I can look at those two scenarios different ways, and I think you have to look at what kind of team you, who is batting, take the pitcher into account, etc. when you are talking about a runner on first and no one out or runners at first and second and no one out. With two on and no one out, if you get the bunt down successfully you have two in scoring position with one out, a nice situation especially if you are in the top or middle of your lineup. You hit into a double play and you likely take yourself out of a potential big inning (two runs or more). But giving up the out might also take you out of a bigger inning. A lot for a manager to consider, IMO, and what his feeling is based on several things at that point. Early in a game I almost never like playing for one run, unless you are facing a pitcher not likely to give up more than a run or two and you have a guy throwing who you feel can compete in that kind of game. But a runner at second and no one out, I don't get bunting there. [/QUOTE]
