So your odds are better bunting. Think stats here for a second. You need to swing eventually. That I agree with but you first need base runners. Wouldn't you be better off bunting first and then hitting with guys on base to score runs? It's not as easy to bunt runs in. We all know that. But better to take the better odds to get base runners on and then let guys swing. And he'll you may knock the pitcher out of the game before it's said and done.So, say you bunt and get on, then what? Do you bunt every batter? If not, why not? It's because swinging away gives you a better shot at scoring runs. You don't manufacture runs by bunting every batter. No team has ever done that. Ever.
Not bunting if it gives you better odds is really just giving up.
