First of all, the double steal was a stupid idea. Surprised at coach A. And it wasn't going to be a bunt. Your leading HR hitter at the plate, you don't bunt. Usually with a SB attempt, the Tiger batter will take the pitch showing bunt. The idea there, with runners on 1st and 2nd, was probably to show the bunt and entice the 3B'man to charge in and leave the bag open. Didn't work and Wilmes was thrown out.
