TAMPA, Fla. - The automatic runner at second, that pesky new rule for 2020, has led to a breathless conversation about extra-inning strategy. Is it best to bunt the man to third to set up a sacrifice fly? Is that worth it on the road when the home team can easily do the same in the bottom of the inning? Or is a bunt ever worth it when the analytics say, no, it's never good to give away outs, especially with the game on the line.
