Bunting Problems.

To my eternal dismay,the bunting problems I saw in ootp3 are still rampant in ootp4. Namely, there is way too much bunting with 1 out!!! The computer managers need to be told that the only time to even remotely consider bunting with 1 out is maybe if your pitcher is up in a close game with a guy on first. Position player should NEVER
sac bunt with 1 out. So, please fix this asap or give us a "Bunt with 1 Out-Never-Sometimes-Always"
menu in the manager profile.

That would be part of the bunting tendencies in the team setup. Just click it and set it to "not often" or "almost never". This will reduce the total number of bunts done by the computer manager.

I think bunting with one out and a runner at first is OK, but I've seen too many position players bunting with one out and a runner on second.
