Well, if a guy is sacrificing himself, his numbers should suffer. Get it? That's part of the sacrifice.
It's esoteric, but it skews it to leave out the bunt. OBP is siupposed to measure something really basic: how often does a guy get on base when he comes up to the plate. If you sacrifice, you don't get on base. It's an out. It's not that important, really, but it skews the number to take out bunts. It rewards getting out. Or fails to punish it. You don't see the true picture of the player. There's a reason Nola bunts a lot.
