Bunting and stolen bases have become archaic as teams have figured out how wasteful they are. Giving up an out to move a runner, or attempting to steal to move up a base, isn’t a good trade-off anymore except in limited types of situations.

Are you watching the same game I am? Every single night the Cardinals bunt and steal. They manufacture runs every game. It is truly a team sport for them. Granted, that didn't really start until after the fired Matheny, and Shildt took over as acting coach, but they now own MLB's longest win streak.

Get back to me when the season is over.

As of today, the Cardinals as a team have 47 stolen bases through more than 120 games. They have two players with 10 or more stolen bases on the roster.

The NL average for team SBs this year is 59. The Cardinals are tied in the #12 spot among the 15 NL teams in this category. They'd be #13 in the AL.
