What’s this now?
Cubs-Astros, bottom 8, nobody on, two out. Carlos Zambrano pitching. Michael Bourn comes up to the plate, and on the first pitch he sees, he shows a bunt (doesn’t make contact).
Fuck the heck? Why would you bunt in that situation? I mean, okay, maybe if you’re a pitcher and you’re awful at the plate and it’s your only possible chance to get a hit. But Michael Bourn’s an okay hitter (currently at .292 / .364 / .392 — could use more power, but not bad). Why the hell would he bunt? Comedy value?
