how can any play that involves having a guy blindly sprint toward home plate while the pitched ball is heading to the guy standing right on top of home plate be 'not very risky'? a missed bunt, an unbuntable ball out of the strike zone, or a popped up bunt is a disaster. When the batter at the plate is just as likely to put the ball in play with bunt as with a swing. Check that, MORE likely to put the ball in play with a bunt. I generally don't like the squeeze, but with Pierre, the odds are even at worst. but the runner isn't out if the batter swings and misses.
