A bunt with two guys on and nobody out is a statistically advantageous call.

not unless you are going for just one run, and with the way the Nats pitchers have been throwing I am sure they will need more than that.

edit: it also depends on who is bunting, who is up next, etc.

Acta knows that bunting with just a man on 1st is a mistake statistically, but bunting with 1st and 2nd is statistically the better move. He knows it, but rarely does it, because he won't do it with the power guys.

That was the key to moving the runners. Zimmerman could just look for a Sac and not worry about big hit. But the ball ended up carrying. Now having Dunn in the lineup leads to the IBB.
