Since it was still relatively early, you increase your odds of scoring 2 runs with a productive out vs an unproductive out or double play from a pitcher that's batting .111 this year. Furthermore, Gomez is batting +.400 with a runner at 3rd with <2 outs this year with a .500 obp, so with a high percentage of a productive out from Gomez combined with the probability of a Lucroy hit, you have a fairly high probability of 1+ run and its easy to make an argument for having a .111 batting pitcher move a runner over vs having him swing with a good chance of a strikeout/GDP. Most managers would call for a bunt in this situation as well. But whatever, it's easier to blame the manager for losing the game (actually the entire division) on a pitcher laying down a bunt that moved a runner into scoring position with your two best batters coming up vs anything else that happened in the game by the actual players playing the game. Jesus, this was one the sloppiest games of the year and the takeaway is that its Ron's fault for losing the division because he had his .111 batting pitcher lay down a bunt early in the game?
