I wonder what the over/under is on the number of bunts the Brewers are going to lay down this season? 

I can't imagine there is another team that will attempt more...

It's probably nothing, but I'm very anxious about McKinven's departure.

I was hoping he [McKinven] would eventually replace Murphy instead of Weeks

They'll probably bunt more than average, but with all of the high-contact, low EV bats in the lineup, may as well just go for swinging bunts, as you can't strike out on a 2-strike foul ball.
