That might have been nice today, had de Aza bunted in the third when we had 1st and 3rd and 1 out instead of GIDP'ing.
Kind of knew it was not going to be a good day at that point...

Nothing wrong with what Robin is saying here. It's the manager's job to know his players and know the situations. It would be ridiculous to say either "bunt all the time" or "don't ever bunt."
Still waiting for the A's to win their world series with the no bunt philosophy... |

I'm sure it has everything to do with their no bunt philosophy and nothing to to with their historically miniscule payrolls.

Most managers bunt more than their teams' fans would like. But managers are in a position where they do what they believe they need to do to win, regardless of abstract theory. I think that's what Ventura was saying in the article. |

I don't have any problem with power hitters bunting in spring training games. Really, that's the sort of thing spring training games are for. |

If they wouldn't have made a movie about their no bunt philosophy I'd just leave it alone but the whole moneyball thing gave them what? One playoff series win? Just saying that having the mindset of either "bunt all the time" or "never bunt" is wrong. Depends on situations, players, ect. Just what Robin was saying. |

That, and they actually do bunt, if only about once a week.
