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.

WTF are you talking about? Are your really arguing that OBP is calculated incorrectly? Should OBP include errors? Fielders' choices? And you think it would give a "truer" picture? Your position on this is ridiculous.

And, fyi, players aren't rewarded for sac bunts. They are taken out of the calculation altogether.
