I don't think the squeeze is a play that is high percentage, the way some here seem to suggest.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Boy, I hate to get back into this, but AGAIN, I feel my position is being misrepresented. In no way shape or form do I think a suicide squeeze is a HIGH percentage play. I do feel that asking Fontenot to simply make contact with a bunt attempt IS a high percentage play. Again, if he bunts fair, we win (most likely). If he bunts foul, no harm. You reset, and try scoring the run in a more conventional way. If he misses it completely, we were screwed. Sadly, Fontenot went with option C.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
