Why bunt when you high a potent, high average, offense? We're f***ed either way.
I understand what you mean but Lester was on the ropes. It was the 4th inning against a hot hitting team. Lester walks 2 guys and Morel is in a hitters count and has shown some signs of life in May. Lester is LH Morel is right handed. I know Ozzie wanted to try to avoid the DP and Pierre has been hitting around .340 in his last 12 games but would have needed a hit to score a run there since it's unlikely he hits a sac fly. Peavy and the extra runs we got later made the call for the bunt there not look as bad as it was at the time. If it's the 8th or 9th I'm not as upset as I was at the time.
