    Unofficial poll for now. Altho I'm sure as the season goes on one of our profeshunal sports wrighters will collect some stats:


    Of all the extra inning games i have only seen one manager sacrifice the 1st batter thus getting the runner at 2b over to 3b.
    And that was in the 11th inning. And it was a game i had to have Tampa Bay for my f ing parlay to hit. Baltimore beats TB 5-4.


    Seems to me sacrificing the runner over would be a go to move at the very least 50% of the time. Unless your batter has zero bunting skills.

    , even pitchers should be able to bunt, and the NL has DH's now so that's moot. Bunt + sac fly should be the strategy every time unless you have a really big bat at the plate.

    Rough count here. Out of 12 opportunities only 1 time has the manager called for sac bunt. Hou vs Angels. It worked. Got runner to 3B and next batter got him in.

    1 run is historically usually

    1 run is historically usually enough in any given extra inning to win the game, whether top or bottom.

    Ok.

    Depends on a variety of factors. Bullpen strength. Who is up and who is up after him (i.e. if the player you're counting on isn't a flyball hitter, it's probably not a great idea to play for the sac bunt to sac fly sequence). How strong are the outfield arms. Etc.
