Yeah, I'll tell you why.

Furthermore, this isn't like a sac bunt which is more difficult given that you have to deaden the ball and get it on the ground immediately. Just push the ball towards third, whether it's hit hard or not, in the air or not, just keep it fair. If it were a one run game with Smoak leading off the inning, different story. Whether Smoak led off the inning with a HR or a bunt base hit, they both carry the same value. I would say the odds are better getting on base by trying to push a ball down third against the shift than swinging away.
