I will disagree about sacrifice bunts. There’s at least one number-crunching analysis that finds the cost of a sacrifice (1 out) exceeds the benefits. You only get 27 outs in 9 innings. Giving up 3.7% of the available outs better have a pretty good payoff.

That's not a disagreement. 
I'm more or less with the analytics folks on the problems of bunting. BUT, if you are going to do so you had better do so properly. 
I have absolutely no doubt that bunting is a bad move if you bunt foul three times or bunt a pop up to the pitcher.
