You wanted Zimmerman, arguably the best hitter on the team, bunting? Seriously?

You have to look at the situation. Tim Hudson ALWAYS gets the best of Zimmerman and gets him to GIDP. We needed a bunt to move the runners over for Morse. That was the SMART/WINNING play.

Sure, against nearly every other pitcher and in other situations, yeah it would be dumb to have him bunt, but in that spot a bunt was the best play.
