If the D Backs continue with the sacrifice bunts I'm going to have to start pulling for the Rangers. I suppose the announcers are just gushing with praise of the tactic, how the bunts catch the Rangers off guard and how the D Backs have won some fantastic percentage of their games where they've successfully sacrificed. (I don't know what the announcers are saying. Like last year I could tolerate the constant gibberish for only one game. Like the game one comment about the D Backs looking to go 7-2 on the road for the playoffs. Not a single D Back was thinking that. They were looking to go 1-0 in the World Series. These guys don't need to talk ALL the time.)

Anyway, CLEARLY successful sacrifices are the path to 9-1 wins like in game two, I'm sure everyone can agree. We're back to 1965 thinking where a hit batter, a steal, a sacrifice bunt, and a score on a deep ground out was a Dodgers rally.
