Ronny Runs

[TB_11]

Reached base all four times he was up, and he used his speed to:

 

- Stretch that first single into a double

- Leg out that infield single

- Go from first to third on Mabry's single in the seventh

 

He's like the anti-Moises Alou.

 

I understand there's a lot of debate about the value of speed and baserunning on this board, but I think we can all admit it's great to see those things happen in-game.

I think much of the "debate" is like two ships passing in the night and never catching sight of one another.

 

No one to my knowledge has said that speed is a bad things. All else equal give me the faster guy.

 

I think what has been discussed is the value of speed as a stand alone tool. In my opinon as a stand alone it has no real value at all.

 

hits with speed>hits

power with speed>power

Field/arm with speed>field/arm

Plate discipline with speed>plate discipline

speed without any of the above = speed

speed without any of the above = go run track, you no hit, no power, no glove, no arm, no eye loser.

I would love to see this armless, eyeless track star you speak of. :)

Armlessness should cut down on wind resistance.
