I don't want to oversell bunting, but damn, with the infielders stacked on one side and behind the infield arc, its just refusing a gift. In a game that's really hard. you dont need to BUNT though, you just need to put the ball on the ground which preserves the chance for a hit (and a bigger inning) while STILL getting the runner home. 'believing' in situational-hitting doesnt have to mean lots of bunting for outs
