Steve,
I was shocked to see this. It was clear that a bunt was going to be attempted, so why in the world would you start in deep B if you intend on moving to deep C to make the call at second? Watching the Bucs broadcast, the announcers had a good time with this one. Bob Walk could not remember having ever seen this.
Barrett was damn lucky that the throw wasn't higher (the freeze frame showed the ball hitting him in the ribs). The worst part for the catcher was that he was charged with an error on the play.
