    ^ I'm sure you really don't need to ask that..Infield back, run scores more easily. Infield in definitely increase the chances of a ground ball getting through.   ...not to mention a soft liner or a bloop single dropping in

    Isn't scoring the 2nd run much more important than scoring an extra 2 or 3?...especially with the way Koji is pitching. I don't get playing for a "big" inning when the 2nd run is so important.   and don't forget, ells up with infield in(if WM bunts successfully) increases his chance of getting a...

    odds of a successful bunt > odds of a WM hit of Verlander or WM hitting a grounder to right side. Throw in a hurt Miggy and also not a force play.   "With one out and a runner on third, it is .674"   Is that with the infield in?..because that would have been the case.

    You just have to bunt there...Ells fly ball scores him...It would draw the infield in and a ground ball hit puts ells on 1b and then he can steal 2b...boom 2-0 with ells on 2nd and 1 out. I just don't see how you don't play for 1 run...... 2-0 opposed to 1-0 is absolutely gigantic.
