Most NL pitchers probably practice bunting a whole lot more than Fontenot does.

What are you talking about? EVERY position player practices bunting. Every day. It's part of batting practice. And again:

It didn't have to be a perfect bunt
In fact, it could be a horribly shitty bunt, but with the runner 10 feet from home plate, it wouldn't make a difference.
It didn't even have to be a successful bunt.
He just had to make contact.

That's it. If it's fair, we win the game, if it's foul, he goes back to trying to drive in the run another way.

Seriously, are we at the point that it's INCONCEIVABLE to ask a 5'7" second baseman to try to lay down a bunt? You are really going to tell me that it's OK to ask Kevin Hart to bunt, but to ask Mike Fontenot to do the same thing is looney tunes?
