We bunt way too much. You can't expect them to start consistently getting hits with runners on base when you're bunting every inning. And if you are going to do that, don't put a batter with pop on his bat in the two hole. Our lineup last night was Heck followed by 4 of our 5 guys with heavy sticks. If you're going to bunt in that situation, put Robson in the two hole.
But really, just let Brown swing and to hell with bunting the lead runner over in the bottom of the first. If Brown gets a double you have runners on corners and no outs. Bunting at best gets you a guy at second with one out, and the worst happened in that he popped it up and the catcher caught it. Complete waste of an out with one of your better hitters.

I'm habitually pissed off because we've tried every damn lineup except one that makes sense.
SS Heck
C Collins
2B Gridley
LF Hump
CF Robson
1B Rea
3B Spruill
RF Vickerson/Brown
DH Rooker
There it is, I just solved all our problems.

Yeah I just don't get it. It's been researched to death. And sac bunts are just stupid. You are far better off just never sac bunting at all.
I would really like to know why Cohen thinks that it is such a good idea. It baffles me...as he seems to be a guy that is fine with "unconventional" things in other instances. Like not saving your closer for the 9th, fine with odd pitching combinations. Plus he really seems to preach getting on base and having a patient approach at the plate. So why is it that he holds onto sac bunting?
