I would have had Fox swing away because I think it's more likely he hits a sac fly or draws a walk than we execute a suicide squeeze with someone that doesn't bunt a lot.
That said, I don't blame Lou, it was a good thought and would have worked if the bunt got down. I just don't think Font is the best bunter, plus the pitcher was a little wild. I think if you have Fox or even Font swing away with a careful eye you have a good chance of drawing a walk, hitting a sac fly, or getting a hit. I mean Fontenot eventually hit a deep one almost to track in center, if he does that with one out and the runner on third we win.
