I hate to be that guy, but for some reason I'm unable to let this one pass by. It's trivial, and in no way reflects on his point (to the degree that he has one...the article is shockingly light on any concrete information), but for some reason this bugs me.

You're supposed to be out at first base on a squeeze bunt. That's what a squeeze bunt is. You give yourself up so that the runner from third can score.




Maybe LiveNinja is the player on third :)


A squeeze bunt also results in a run. Which is appropriate because maybe Google is doing this to indirectly improve their brand or another business area.
