This question came up today: Would you rather have a man on second with nobody out or a man on third with one out? I have a definite opinion, but others are demanding stats to back up my position. So here's the poll, and any resources to prove your side would be appreciated.

It depends.

Based on the information provided, I'd say A is the correct answer, because outs are scarce and yada yada. However, I think it depends a lot on other factors (score, inning, who's batting, on deck, etc.), and therefore B might be the better situation to have sometimes.

B is very rarely better, not to mention that a sacrifice doesn't work 100% of the time.

It does depend, to some extent on the batter (and the speed of the runner), but in general, do you think it is a good play to sac bunt with nobody out and a runner on second?

Not enough information - what's the score, inning, what side of the plate does the batter hit from, how successful is the batter at laying down a sac bunt, etc.

[/ QUOTE ] This isn't what I was referring to when I said it depends. Unless you are very late in the game and tied(and sometimes down by 1), it is nearly always a horrible play sac bunting. |

[/ QUOTE ] I disagree. Maybe the best way of framing the question is - In which situation are you more likely to score? I think you are more likely to score from second with no outs, so even in the bottom of the ninth, down by one, bunting is a generally bad play. |
