Completely disagree, you are trying to win today's game. It has nothing to do with what game of the season this is. You move runners over to give yourself a chance at a run. 1-21 in the series, you make things happen. Cool weather, strike out pitcher, strike out prone team, is a recipe for tons of runners left on base. You take away strikeouts and double play balls. They gave up a run as the next batter hit a sacrifice fly. I want the lead every time I can get it. To suggest you never bunt early in a game is limiting your options. A good manager changes what he does due to current conditions.
