[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 305734, member: 2843"] Isn't the argument most are making here... the offensive philosophy should be to simply eliminate the sac bunt from the repertoire REGARDLESS of the how strong the pitching staff is. In other words...if you want to score runs with an average to above average offense in college baseball, there is no scenario where you choose to give up outs by bunting...you swing the bat. [with noted exception... the very specific late game need to get one run to win] I understand this paragraph as written regarding assuming successful sac bunts in order to compare statistical outcomes if you do or do not choose to give up that out and move the runner over. But... that made me think more about the data...so, help me understand something about the tables we're referencing. Correct me if I'm wrong... the data would INCLUDE all successful and unsuccessful sac bunts. Seems that sort of muddies the information if used to decide on bunting or not. Its like you've assumed all of those runs in those tables came from innings with NO sac bunts... and that is not true. Or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
