I wouldn't consider this a bad play.

Your team is leading 3:1 in the bottom of the 7th, runners on 1st an 2nd, nobody out ...

... I would say the baseball book would call for a sacrifice bunt here to put the runners in scoring position, thus eliminating the risk of a double play and giving the team the chance to score an insurance run with an out.
