[QUOTE="2314, post: 2828588, member: 73054"] I despise not trading an out, with no outs, for putting TWO runners in scoring position. I see double play your way. But of course you play hunches and go against this at times depending on the hitter as you stated. But neither way is absolute all of the time. I would never always bunt with runners on first and second with ZERO outs in innings 1-7. As OP I have two comments. First, baseball, folks have added "against a shift" and although that is not my first and second with no outs point, I regard it as a subset of the question and for the life of me I cannot figure out why MLB players cannot end this shift nonsense by bunting. Second, football, this has been my point since the 1981 TCU football game at Tech. TCU was trailing 32-9 at the half of a game that would end in a 39-39 tie. I was at that game and saw F.A. continue to go for two after every TD in the comeback tie (TCU beats Texas Tech, 39-39?). But to be honest, during the game I felt it was the correct call seeing how far behind we were. I think they called off the 2 after the third straight unsuccessful try and just kicked EPs after that. After the game I thought had we just kicked the PAT just once we would have won the game. The OU game a few years back just reinforced my philosophy. [/QUOTE]
