You mean someone might actually check any setting besides, extra conservative, for bunting?

After a walk I check "hit immediately into a dp" and it works every time!

Actually I check aggressive and very aggressive regularly. I then check everybody I don't want to bunt don't bunt. Then guys like Bowa and others with low batting averages to bunt more. Most of them being A bunters have a better chance of getting a hit bunting than they do hitting away. I've watched my pitchers and good bunters hit a little better than normal and bad bunters stay about the same.

Totally disagree with video. The reason guys don't bunt is because thy can't. Look at some of the batting averages in MLB. Those guys in the .240 range would be 10 to 15 higher if they could bunt. Guys like Carew and Gwynn used to bunt for base hits. Today's game is different I agree but watching it and with the lack of fundamentals is a huge turn off to me. I generally only watch at playoff time. That's when the best teams with the best fundamentals play.

I do the same. Everybody that is a "bad" bunter or a stud hitter gets checked to never bunt, then my mid range guys that can bunt will bunt more often. I also hope this will get my pitchers to bunt more often.

I also have apparently checked the "hit into more DP" box too. But I cant seem to find it to uncheck it.
