You have to apply the information of the stat that is calculated over thousands of situations to the unique situation you are facing. Maybe Anderson didn't like that batter facing that pitcher. Maybe he thought it was a high percentage of a strikeout or double play? You can't expect that percentage to be the same in every situation.

It worked out.

If we win sure it worked out. All the stats are strongly against bunting the runner from first to second. We likely could have scored two runs if we hadn't bunted. We will of course never know.

Impossible to assume that.

You can't even assume Coffey hits the double if we don't bunt. Once you change an event, you can't assume all following events would be the same.

I already said that.

Status: online 		Neither of these pitchers are good today. Both were lucky to only give up one run each in the first inning. Stevenson for the Gophers seems to have no control at all. I hope saying that he settles down and mows them down.

Probably a mistake.

Status: online 		We might have to score 10 or more to win this game. Stevenson walks the next batter. He seemed just totally not up to the pressure of pitching in this setting. He showed that with his first attempted throw to first and followed that up with batting practice pitches followed by every pitch in the dirt. Hopefully we have the RP's that can get the job done.

Status: online 		I don't know if I have ever seen a coach as committed to the sacrifice bunt as Anderson. He bunts in every possible situation. Petterson got a hit on a sacrifice when the pitcher stumbled off the mound and didn't make it to first on time. Vavra up runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. 3-0 I'll be shocked if they don't walk him. They do. Bases loaded for Wilson one out. Gophers end up scoring 6 and that will hopefully be safe, but today you never know.
