Actually bunting in the late stages of the game with a slim lead isn't necessarily a bad idea. I'm a stats guy, and I agree with the call. makes way more sense to do it here than in the 1st inning (coughDustycough)
How does that have anything to do with batting 2nd? Don't get me wrong, I think he's bad, but how was that play a product of him being in the two hole? I will gladly take 27 HR from him again wherever he hits
