I should clarify this. I normally will only squeeze with my P and then if i see inf in and my P hits over .100 will often let him swing the bat. Like tycobb, I get tired of having so many runners stranded at 3rd...seems unrealist how often it happens here. Probably 2-3 times a season I will squeeze with a position player but only if they are really struggling. I will never squeeze with a position player to take the lead in a game.

I have had opponents squeeze with Babe Ruth...I didnt like it and I still think they are crazy, but to each their own.

I'd be interested in someone showing some data on the success of the squeeze play in whatever era. Watching MLB today, bunting is a lost skill.

The problem I see with the squeeze play is that it's still too easy to execute. I don't see it executed in the regular sim, so I don't think WIS really intends it. I'd like to see the sim have bunting success based on a batter's real life bunt hits / sacrifices. If a pitcher never bunted in a game, he shouldn't magically be proficient at it.

I don't see why WIS fixes this problem.
