It took a pretty good play to turn 2 with Beckham running. If Beckham beats that throw [that barely got him]..then the odds of tying the game look pretty good.
I don't know what Beckham's success rate is with sacrifice bunts..does anyone else...?
I've read the book that discusses the merits of bunting in different situations and with different hitters. They have calculated "break even points" where and when it makes sense to bunt. It's [the calculation] largely based on how good or bad the hitter is that is due to bat.
Beckham has been one of our best all around hitters, especially among the guys who are tough to double up.
