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
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.

Depends who in the lineup is following the bunt.
Bunting to bring up your 8 and 9 hole hitters might not be the analytical play, but bunting two runners over with your leadoff hitter ensures the double play is out of question and gets your best hitters up with runners in scoring position.
