Proper bunt execution is a must...

In a Cleveland-Washington recreation, the Indians had two golden opportunities to bunt with a 3-0, then 3-2 lead; what were the odds that with each bunt attempt the roll would be 6-6? Proper bunt execution is not only a must in real baseball, it is also a must in Strat. For that particular game which ended up going 11 innings, the Indians scalped themselves with 5 DP's, 2 of which were on the bunt, Of course, they would also lose that 3-0 lead and that game. 
I also teased in my last post that I would post CWS-DET, I'll say briefly that it resembled more of a Lions-Bears game on an ugly October afternoon with this line score: CWS 2-3-0 DET 1-2-2(WP-Early Wynn LP-Jim Bunning). All that was missing was Alex Karras killing Jack Concannon.
