Win probablity after Ramirez walk- 71%

 

win probablity after DeRoa bunt- 63%

 

 

Those are very nice numbers.

 

You want a guy in scoring position.

obviously not.

 

you cant disprove numbers like that

:eek:

 

Three innings ago, yes.

03 Aramis?

WHY BUNT WITH DEROSA!!!!!!!

 

Because you've hit into four double plays already today.

 

 

And that impacts this how?

 

 

You want a guy in scoring position. End of story.

youre not going to win this

 

I know...groupthink rules all.

 

If by "groupthink" you mean logic

 

This board is full of logic, but let's be honest. Group think in Game Threads = Hysteria. Hmm, I may nominate that in David's 80's song thread.

You can say what you want, but statistics show that bunting decreases your chances of winning

[Ski]

Geez, let's not let this hurt us.

[TMan92]

Now we will test the bunting theory with a team that potentially executes it well.

[Irrelevant Dude]

He needs 13 days off.

[Allroy]

So much for your gold glove Rammy.

[Omar]

Good breakingball.

Potentially being the key word there.

[Ski]

In positive news, my wireless internet has been working for half an hour.

[Little Slide Rooter]

How does Jose Castillo keep getting work?

[Vanilla Ice]

win probablity with man on first, no outs, in bottom of the ninth- 71%

 

win probablity with man on second, one out, in bottom of the ninth- 70%

 

not a huge difference, but it doesn't help
