GDT: Braves vs Reds Game 1

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 bunted” crowd please shut up already? It has been proven beyond all doubt that sac bunts are a negative play.

I don't subscribe. How have those stats changed over the last decade as play has evolved?

Matzek over Minter?

Yes. LHP hitting .190 off Matzek this year vs. like .260 off Minty
