My biggest issue with bunting is who in the heck I have to drive someone in. Too often I find myself in this situation with my 2- or 3-hole hitter up, and I want them swinging, or with my 4-hole hitter on base and I'm not bunting with my #5 to try and get 6-8 to drive him in. I guess if I had 9 mashers I might feel differently.

Plus, we have speed, so we steal a lot of bases in this situation. Perfect situation is 0-0 fake bunt, steal. If we're 1-0 count we'll sell fake bunt again. Then we'll get a 2-0 or 1-1 fat fastball from a pitcher trying to get a bunt out. (We'll them most likely swing through it or take it for a strike and screw the whole thing up. One of them years....)
