Fortunately the game isn't played by geeks on calculators. The game is played by men executing on the field.
What's your point? It was dumb to bunt with Espinosa. That the Nats have the lead now does not change that fact in any way.
And at the end of the day, it was the ninth inning. You don't bunt Espinosa in the fourth, but you bunt him in the ninth.
Even shoeshineboy and tomterp who both hate bunts would probably have bunted Espinosa there.
No. You should never bunt with Espinosa because Espinosa is too good to bunt with and doesn't create a lot of DPs. Bunting in that situation gives you a
lower chance of scoring a run than you had before.
