I completely disagree coach. If the opposing team wants to load up the right side of the infield, I don't know why it would be considered bush if a player lays a bunt down? Heck, they're basically daring the batter to do it. The only reason I wouldn't advise Big Papi to do it, is he has a chance to hit the ball out anytime he's in that batters box...especially at Fenway!

I've watched ESPN and MLB Network the last 24 hours, and I've learned that the commentators (former MLB players) are just as divided on this issue (Aybar bunt) as we are here on this website. That's what makes it fun, everyone looks at it differently.
