    why do coaches not bunt

    with men on first and second and no outs? especially when you are down by 1 or 2 runs? Tony L is a real dumbass

    i would only bunt under two situations,first is if the pitcher is up.second only if the batter is a poor hitter or a good bunter,would never have a premiere player with any kind of power or situational hitting,ever bunt

    i love bunting, two chances and more important, takes away the double play. some clubs don't believe in it, like the phillies.

    What's worse is when you're down by a run, or tied, and your team leads off with a double. Bunt the friggin' guy over to 3rd so he can score on a fly ball or groundout. Geez, I get sick of seeing runners stranded after a double with no outs.

    no joke.. happens all the time. wish i was a manager. the base paths would be burning up instead of sitting back waiting for a 3 run homer.

    Hindsight is always 20/20, but I definitely think that was a bunting situation. Furcal not hitting .200 and not in any sort of a 'groove'. Down by 1 you have to be bunting there.
