Stats show it’s a low % play overall . But the Jays didn’t need to get the runner in from 3rd . They needed the runner in from 2nd
The guy on 3rd really didn’t matter . I can barely even picture a bunt that they go home for a force and get a runner who isn’t remotely held by LA but is good enough to advance Barger who they are holding close to 2nd so a base hit doesn’t score him !

Straw does matter though. If they get him out at home, Barger is no lo ger the tieing run.
You're wrong on this. Accept it and let it go.
