I asked that question myself. Doesn't the higher seed hosting the regional earn the home team designation? UCLA with a large advantage now having two turns at bat to one for us.

Status: offline 		Mazzenga out on a super close play inning over. In this instance the Gophers bunted the runner from second to third. Here is a statistical analysis of bunting the runner from 1st to 2nd.

According to Dan Levitt of baseballanalysts.com, using a study that gathered information over 15 years of professional baseball, the expected run table for an inning sets at .877 in situations where there is a runner at first with no outs. However, if you decide to bunt the runner over, your expected run table for the inning drops to .693 with a runner on second and one out.

In essence, you are voluntarily killing your own rally.

In addition to the expected run table, basic percentages say that the sac bunt is the wrong play. According to Baseball Prospectus, you have a 24.4 percent better chance of scoring a runner from first with no outs than you have of scoring a runner from second with one out. 24.4 percent! Swing away.

You're giving stats that don't fit the situation. We bunted a guy from 2nd to 3rd, not 1st to 2nd. What are the correct stats?

I said I don't have those stats. I couldn't find them at a quick glance. I did find some references to that stating it was a bad play also, but not with the same great stats against bunting the runner from first to second.

Status: offline 		You have to apply the information of the stat that is calculated over thousands of situations to the unique situation you are facing. Maybe Anderson didn't like that batter facing that pitcher. Maybe he thought it was a high percentage of a strikeout or double play? You can't expect that percentage to be the same in every situation.

It worked out.

We can never know for sure what would have happened if we hadn't bunted, but if the following players had of done the same thing we likely would have scored two or more.
Anyway done with my rant unless we lose. Than I go crazy LOL. Come on Gophers 1-2-3 inning and go home.

Maybe we hit into DP and don't score at all.

If we win sure it worked out. All the stats are strongly against bunting the runner from first to second. We likely could have scored two runs if we hadn't bunted. We will of course never know.

Sure that could happen. Anything could happen. Still it is a statistically proven bad strategy.
