How does this fit under "Moneyball" when this has been a part of the game for a long, long time, and the ability to lay down a good bunt is something that's been looked for in a player for at least a hundred years now? --UsaSatsui 19:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Some of the moneyball/Sabermatic aprroach to baseball strategy relies on less sacrafice bunting, and more on run creation. Bunting is actually overrated in terms of scoring runs and winning games. --Nick Dillinger 03:59, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
This part isn't true:
"The manager will usually signal the runners to advance as soon as the pitcher winds up."
Rather, most of the time runners wait until the ball is put in play before advancing. Rarely do you see a pitch-out foil a sacrifice bunt. The only time runners advance at windup is on the squeeze play. -- ejc3, 10/7/05
