It isn't so easy to get a bunt down if you aren't called on to sacrifice very often. It's even harder when you're facing a spastic potbellied flamethrower who couldn't find the strike zone and had walked three batters before you got to the plate.
Getting a successful bunt down isn't any more automatic than hitting a fly ball. Fontenot has hit hundreds of fly balls this season. How many bunts do you think he's attempted?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I can't even recall a single successful bunt attempt by him ever.

Precisely. And yet he's called on to lay down a successful bunt against a guy who throws 95 mph gas who was wild all night and he has faced four times? C'mon.
