Why are players these days so awful at bunting??? I was always taught to keep the barrel above the knob and use your legs to move up and down to get the bat on the ball. That way you don’t pop it up. Is that just not taught anymore? Good grief.
In fairness, your players that hit like Paulie don’t usually get called to bunt with game pressure. It was a horrible coaching call

There were two outs. That makes no sense
It’s the only time it makes sense. Somebody else explained it too.

Running through second is faster than sliding, if you run through 2nd and beat the force out and then get caught in a rundown, the guy on 3rd scores. That’s the whole idea behind it.

The other comment probably explained it better but his intention was to make the turn to try and get in a rundown and beat the force. Once he saw he booted it, he had to slam on the breaks and get back on the bag.
