Thanks for posing the question bsbl247. Wow, this topic is just as divisive as the debt ceiling debate in Congress. Great topic and great points about one of baseballs oldest unwritten rules. I'm getting the sense that nobody is stradling the middle on this one, which makes it all the better.

Sandman brought up the point that Verlander choked under pressure to field the bunt last Sunday. I totally agree that it was all on Verlander, and he should have easily got the out. This sounds vaguely familiar as he did the same in the World Series a few years ago (2006) against St Louis. Remember? I'm a huge Verlander (VA native) fan, but he has to make that play or we wouldn't be talking about it right now.
