Also the legendary Tony LaRussa attempted a suicide bunt on Sunday against the Astros with runners on 1st and 3d and no outs. Kip Wells the batter screwed it up, and P. Wilson was caught in a rundown. If you are going to criticize Garner for it, acknowledge that LaRussa made the same call under similar conditions. Of course, LaRussa is the king of suicide squeezes, having led the majors in calling for them each of the last few years.

FWIW, the Cardinals said they were surprised by Ausmus' squeeze bunt.
