Ervin was 0-4 going into the at bat against a veteran right handed pitcher coming in fresh. It's the bottom of the ninth, down by one with a manager that makes changes left and right. In fact, it often appears that he makes changes for no ***** reason whatsoever and he can't put in the best bunter on the bench in the biggest at bat in the game? It's not like it was one of the bigger threats in the lineup. It's Ervin. He was probably voted most replaceable in High School.

All I am saying is that it is very rare for a manager to call for a sacrifice squeeze.  You act like it is an automatic choice that every manager would make in that situation.

If VanMeter or Votto get a hit to drive in the go-ahead run you aren't saying anything about it being a bad decision..
