re: Did I really just see a successful bunt?

How often does it work like that? It’s usually assumed that you’re trading an out for a base. The only reason they did it the second time is it worked the first time. The 6th inning is a bit early. Outs are valuable commodities in a game where a 1 out 3 success rate is winning.

Quite often when you hate your 2, 3, and 4 hole hitters following the bunt

You're going to get downvoted, but you're right. Bunting in a run on a squeeze is one thing, but sacrifice bunting almost never is the right analytical play.

One run game. Runners at first and second. No outs. A guy who can handle the bat at the plate with some speed.
Yea I am bunting in that situation every single time. I don’t care if it’s the first or the ninth or anywhere in between.

100% of the time when the bunt is sandwiched by three pitchers hitting five batters.
