When my son was younger, I gave him some invaluable coaching advice on how to bunt: 1) Don’t; 2) Hit dingers. That’s served him pretty well so far and I wish the lesson was being applied more frequently at the higher levels of the game. While there are certain situations in which bunts can work, the Cubs apparently have nary a clue as to what those are. Whether it’s David Ross having Patrick Wisdom lay one down earlier in the season or the dual abomination that took place Thursday night, this team has too often looked like a mental disaster.
