The Sac Bunt

By Tangotiger, 11:42 AM

http://www.tnr.com/blog/count

Nothing worse than arguing about the strategy of the bunt by using words like “Moneyball” to represent the sabermetric-viewpoint.  There’s a great set of charts by Dan Levitt along with the important series of disclaimers of not looking at averages but at the actual sequence of runners/batters, as well as a 50-page treatise by MGL in THE BOOK.  You need to immerse yourself in these two pieces of research, before writing about when to use and not use the bunt.
