Again, the thing you don't get and never will is you manage a game based on the in game individual situation. Which is actually the consensus among most baseball people and sabermetric people.

You're wanting us to ask a bunch of singles to not use their speed- and expecting to get extra base hits in return. Which is not what the odds say.

And yet how many times this year have we had a big inning where we've had a bunt single? Several.
I don't hate bunting but having Cody Brown who at the time is your hottest hitter bunt in the first inning against a crap team is all kinds of stupid. I agree with you, if Cohen is dead set on it at least put Robson #2. He has the best chance bunting for a hit.
