GDT: Braves vs Reds Game 1

No missed called that inning but the Reds got a couple K's on pitches as far off the plate as balls 2 and 3 there.

In 2019:

No sac bunt
Runner on 1st and 0 outs = .93 runs

Successful sac bunt
Runner on 2nd and 1 out = .74 runs

Can the “he should have hunted” crowd please shut up already?

Who is coming up has to be considered. An overall stat like that does not a universal rule make. With Markakis on deck, I probably bunt there. Keeps you out of the DP and Markakis is pretty much a singles hitter these days.
