It's one thing if you're the home team and you know you only need one. If you're the road team, you should absolutely not be sac bunting. At all.
I really, really like so much about this team. But yeah, it's a quality bat short of what it needs for the offense to function consistently.
India has been a very nice addition. But they need another guy with some juice to hit behind Perez. I am encouraged by what we've seen from Garcia so far, and would love for him to be an answer at 3B or in the OF. Really need to upgrade one of those corner spots, though.
I can't complain too much. My answer was Jurickson Profar, and we saw how that has gone. Maybe they can find an answer internally.

Yeah - you can't bunt there on the road, IMO.
Goal in extras as a road team needs to be 2 runs. I see very little utility in the bunt there by the road team.
