Stupid is another word. 

Especially with an out already recorded in the inning.  Difference between one out man on first and two outs man on second is only a +2% chance to score a run (12% to 14%), but you've dropped your average total run expectation.  It's not worth giving up the out.

He saw that shift and gave into temptation.

Is this going to be a replay of last night?

He wasn't trying to give up an out. He was bunting for a hit.

He beat it on my TV 

[eddie83]

Clearly safe.

3-1 count to your #3 hitter with a runner on. Not an ideal time for it.

No. It will be a blowout by the 9th inning.

Yeah, but if you're hitting there, you've got to weigh that attempt as if you're going to get thrown out.  Executing a bunt hit isn't successful a huge %age of the time.

Two weak hits. We hit ball at people.  

[eddie83]

That ball was hit hard.
