4-19 RISP and Alcala is not the right guy to hold a 1 run lead.

Gotta I be able to execute a sac bunt there or a sacrifice fly. 

Agreed...I hate Manfred Ball but it's a thing and you have to develop and execute winning extra inning strategies. The analytics guys scoff at a sac bunt of course because their "expectancy" charts do not favor it, but I sure do. Putting a runner on 3rd with less than two outs in extra innings is a very good idea, in my humble opinion. It might even lead the opposition to  feel some stress which can lead to poor execution.

In a paraphrase of the Alec Baldwin character  in Glengarry Glen Ross:  in extra innings teams must Alway Be Scoring!
