The difference in 2013 and 2014 was Hunter Renfroe.

Difference in those two years and 2015 is Ross Mitchell's demise into terribleness (injuries did not help either).

It ain't rocket science.

I see us with 35 sac bunts in 2013 compared to 38 in 2015.

Not a huge difference except when you consider that sac bunting is WAY down across the SEC this year because of the new ball. About 25-30% down to be exact.

That's 35 sac bunts in 71 games in 2013 and 38 in only 45 games in 2015. That's close to twice as many per game this year.

No, we finished with 57 sac bunts. I took the total as of the end of April so that it would be comparable.

avg 2.39 sacs a game in 2013 and we are just under that this season, currently.

Because we can't hit sac flies. I don't even mind sac flies, because they're usually scoring a runner from 3rd.

It's sac bunts with a runner on 1st and 0 outs in the inning that are killing us.

Oh

I was just responding t your point that we needed to decrease our sacrafices, which we have, at this point.

ETA: I wonder how many of those 39 bunts were with runners on 3rd?
