I'm pretty sure they weren't watching the game too busy looking up the exact percentages of the sac bunt that no one actually likes. Just too ignorant to understand the situation.
Saunders second half: 75 wRC+
Sept: -10 wRC+
Bautista second half: 101 wRC+
Sept: 85 wRC+
Saunders is struggling so hard that a sac bunt he'd probably take as a worse case scenario bunting against the shift...
If you can put the bunt down against the shift as a lefty, it's not the worst strategy with a runner on 2nd and none out. As long as it gets down at worst you move the runner over and maybe 50/50 get a hit.
