Defending the Squeeze The only way to defend a squeeze is to bust in hard. The pitcher has probably the best chance to field the ball and he has to be balls out, picking up and throwing on the run and diving towards home. Both the third baseman and first baseman should be playing in if you anticipate a squeeze play (i.e. towards the end of the game, hitting team down by one or two, tied or up by one or two with less than two outs). If a team wants to squeeze earlier then make sure you get an out. Another good defense is a pitch out. It may catch the runner taking off from third.

What is it called when a runner tries to steal home and the batter tries to lay down a bunt?

In this situation, the term used is a "suicide squeeze". It sounds a little funny but the actual idea is this: Coach will give a sign to the batter to bunt. At the same time the runner at third base will run as soon as the bunt is layed down, sometimes if wanting to take the chance, as soon as the pitcher starts their delivery.

What is a suicide play in baseball?

A squeeze is when there is when a sacrifice bunt is called for with a runner on third. The idea is that when the batter bunts the ball, he will be thrown out at first, allowing the runner on third base to score. In a suicide squeeze, the runner takes off from third as soon as the pitcher begins his delivery toward the plate. If the batter makes contact with the ball then the play will most likely be successful. The problem comes when the batter fails to make contact with the ball. If this happens the play is most likely going to be at home plate. This play normally works best with someone who you can count on to make contact with the ball no matter the pitch.
