Roberto Perez hits a 3-run home run in the second inning of Monday night’s game against the Red Sox. He would later hit a game-winning, walk-off bunt in conjunction with a Brock Holt error.
I’ve never been a huge fan of bunting. Sure there are certain scenarios where it can be appropriate and/or useful, but for the most part it never seems worth it to surrender an out. When Brandon Guyer led of the bottom of the 9th with a double, in a game that was tied 4-4 on Monday night, you could pretty much predict that a sacrifice bunt was in the cards.
