It would lower the chance of scoring a run this inning. Compared to letting Z hit? The OBP of a batter has to be pretty low to justify bunting a runner from first to second with no outs. With one out, the OBP threshold is even lower. Z's OBP is pretty bad this year, but it's a small sample size. I think letting Z hit there was the right call, results notwithstanding. And Z knows this park, dude. :lol: .233 OBP in ~325 career PA's.
