So there are really only 2 options here:
1) Jake Meyers stayed at the stadium all night and learned how to bunt overnight.
2) Dusty and Joe have been lying to us for 3+ years that nobody on the team other than Altuve knows how to bunt.
Well not like the bunt resulted in a run.....CFTXAG10 said:Dana Brown "Teams that win in the post-season don't bunt"The Porkchop Express said:

A response to this is that they might be GIDP, but they're putting the ball in play.Marvin said:
Astros are 17th in OBP with runners in scoring position. Part of the reason is they lead the league in GIDP in the same situation.
One indictment after another against Cintron. He MUST be gone in November.
Not saying it wasn't the right call. Just interesting the back and forth about bunting working or, at least, mocking people who say it doesn't when, in this situation, it didn't.....Ags #1 said:
That totally hindsight though. it was a great call IMO to have a guy who is struggling bunt and maybe bunt for a hit. Next 2 guys just didn't do their job

Astros offense against playoff teams = 7 runs/game
Astros offense against sub 500 teams= 3 runs/game
