Force a Lester throw The chances of him laying down a perfect bunt that he could beat out have to be significantly lower than running into a fastball with a swing, so keep it up. I don't think he wants to beat it out, I think he only wants to bunt well enough that Lester fields it and can't run it to the base. It's not all that high a percentage play, but he's a career .108 hitter so not much to risk.
