October 10, 200620 yr PopTard, do you really think that a successful squeeze is more likely than a sac fly or a run-scoring groundball? hell, i dont know... but you left out groundball to any of the 4 positions in the infield, or a popout that won't score a run.

You ignored the part where I said you take the bat out of your best hitter's hand, or you just take your best hitter out of a game for something that is most definitely NOT a sure thing. What happens if the other team ties the game and you no longer have your best hitter in the lineup? EDIT: You know what, just forget it. We're trashing up this thread.

October 10, 200620 yr Once, Connor recalls, Gonzalez told a stunned room of elders that if he ever managed in the big leagues and he had Barry Bonds at the plate with runners on first and second and nobody out, he would give the bunt sign. "That was his big thing: You do whatever it takes to win," Connor says with a chuckle. "We'll see what happens next year in that situation with [Miguel] Cabrera up." Actually, the test has already come. Gonzalez and former Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell still joke about the time the fill-in manager, who had a 14-game trial over two seasons (1999-2000) while Boles battled health issues, gave him the bunt sign when he was batting cleanup. :| :omg
