    Why don't managers bunt after leadoff doubles anymore?

    I just don't get it. Reds get a leadoff double in a 4-4 game and he just stands there as they flail away and don't even advance him to third. When did this strategy become antiquated? Just stupid if you ask me -- I suppose it's because no one knows how to bunt anymore.

    i guess in 8th case can be made, id prob rather not see cards do it but everyone in that lineup would take the ball the opposite way and advance the runner at worst..i mean i guess dusty figures even if they bunt him to 3rd then he needs someone to actually take a good ab still which doubtful..

    Exactly. It's not like these dipshits with inflated egos would actually do something -- anything -- to get the guy to third with one out.

    Dusty is such an awful manager.
