<i>The squeeze play may not be used with two outs. The defense would simply field the bunt and throw out the batter to end the inning. The success rate with 0 or 1 out is the same, and it depends on the quality of the bunter and the infield’s position. Bunters are rated A, B, C or D and their grades decline one if the infield is in or the corners are in. Here are the percentages that show up in the computer game (the percentages in parentheses are the percent of the time that you will be forced to attempt to steal home on a missed bunt:</i>
Bunter Rating Infield back Infield In/Corners In
A suicide 67% (8%) 53% (14%)
safety 61% 47%
B suicide 53%(14%) 39% (19%)
safety 47% 33%
C suicide 39% (19%) 22% (31%)
Safety 33% 17%
D suicide 22%(31%) 14% (42%)
safety 17% 8%<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
