I do not see how you can raise a serious complaint about bunting there.

Well, not even considering that it's a -EV play in general, it's just ridiculous when you've got LoDuca as the runner.

a) He's gonna get thrown out at 2nd 75% of the time.
b) Having LoDuca on 2nd isn't all that great.

c) DAVID BASEBALL JESUS WRIGHT!!!!

This is what I love about this being a poker forum. I had the exact same concerns that this post mentioned. Bunting ahead 2-0 with Lo Duca on 1st is stupid in about 5 ways. Any other forum if I post this Id get 300 people replying with [censored] like...

"Willie wins alot of game for us, you never played the game so you don't understand it, look the Mets won in that inning.., you are such a pessimist jerk, etc etc etc"

But you guys actually understand that baseball is mathematical, I love you guys.
