I was talking about small ball tactics in general at that point. Yes a squeeze tries to trade an out for a run... more often it ultimately trades an out for nothing (with a man on third no less).
The only time I ever like the bunt is when it's done against the shift (and even then I don't love it) and occasionally I like the batter to show bunt... keeps the defense honest.
