Except a hit to the outfield most likely scores a run.
He's telling them to bunt without explicitly saying bunt. He had a presser a few days ago where he said he told the batter, whatever happens, that runner has to be at 3rd.
So you can get a hit, but only use half the field? Really making hard to try and get a hit.What part of that is preventing Perez from getting a hit?

It's situational hitting. It's fundamental baseball.
Perez didn't think he could get the ball to the opposite side of the field so he bunted....
I am sure the 9th won’t be stressful
