Fake steal of 3B with a bunt for a hit.

There is a runner on 2B. The batter has an idea that he wants to bunt for a hit. Is there anything that the runner can do to assist his cause? How about a fake steal?

When the runner at 2B takes off in the direction of the 3B, the 3B begins to work in the direction of the bag to handle the throw. If the 3B is moving towards the bag he is moving away from the batter and a would be bunt attempt. So, therein lies the efficacy of the play.

The runner bluffs a steal of 3B. He doesn't need a lot. He just needs to enough to get a runner call. When the runner gives the impression that a steal is taking place the thirdbaseman moves towards the bag as the ball gets bunted in his direction.
