If you think you aren't good enough to score a bunch of runs in one inning, you may be right.

Strategy challenged every time it is attempted. Better get the MLB for Dummies V2 - picture version.

and it wasn't a very good bunt. In order for it to work the 3B has to commit to fielding it....didn't go far enough...most runners are dead at 3B by that bunt

The bunt was fine. The risk was the fact you have your catcher running to 3rdslow runner. Every other position player is safe at 3rd on that same bunt.

A manager must take that into consideration umlesd Winn bunted on his own ???

Terrible top of 5th

You have first and second, nobody out, and your fattest slowest slug on 2B.

You don’t try to bunt him over when the force is in play.

Just dumb

No. Let'(poop) into a double play. Bad teams play bad.
double steal attempt with our two fastest players is not Oliball

With a force out at every base, a very slow runner on 2B, and the other team well aware of the bunt possibility, the bunt needed to be perfect. Very low probability of success.

AND even if he succeeded, Nootbar could hit into a GIDP and the Cards fail to score anyway.

Why give away the remote possibility that Winn could actually get a hit, BB, or HBP?

He is a very limited manager.
