Still, the best offense in the history of this program had more sac bunts than this team does at the same point in the season. They had just under 20% more hits than this team and also had around 20% more sac bunts. So even with more hits, the rate at which we bunt stayed pretty close
While in play and called upon all year, the lions share of that twenty percent came earlier in the season. Before they really knew what they had.

20% more sac bunts is no surprise to me when you had way more runners on base and opportunities to move runners over into scoring position. That team was pretty darn good at everything, SLG%, OBP%, SB, SF, Avg., hitting behind the count......etc.

They were pretty good. I said to my wife in 2014, "Pay attention cuz these are the good old days."
I'll bet its much better than 1 in 4 or 1 in 5.... thats where most of our hitters are right now... Good call...bad execution
........to be fair, I didn't put in the sac fly in a non squeeze.....as was mentioned, the pitch was high and wide which gives question whether it was a purpose placement to negate the play's effectiveness!!!
