i hate Sac bunts by ANYONE but pitchers

 

I'm a big fan of small ball & sacrifices in general, but it generally is a better idea when your team is a high contact team, especially with RISP, that actually more often than not cashes in on a man on second with one out.

 

Statistics show that you have a better chance of scoring with a man on first and 0 outs than a man on 2nd with 1 out.

 

Really? I'm interested to see those statistics.

[Keener98]

Impressive AB Lee

i knew that as soon as franceour's ball left the yard in the 9th

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson grounded out to first, unassisted

[JonJayCutler]

Absolutely no lead is safe with this bullpen. Sad.

A little dated, but still works...

 

Am I reading this right? 95% of the time during that time span, a lead off single lead to a run?

[Butterscup1679666578]

lol god

[Keener98]

Wow Soriano.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Escobar singled to left field

[squally1313]

Am I reading this right? 95% of the time during that time span, a lead off single lead to a run?

 

No...the numbers are the average number of runs scored in that inning following that scenario, not the probability of a run scoring in general. Hench, the bases loaded, no out scenario leading to an average of 2.4 runs or whatever it is...

It's the number of runs a team can expect to score on average from that point on in every situation.

 

So with a runner on first with no outs a team will score on average .953 runs.

So with a runner on second with 1 out a team will score on average .725 runs.

[squally1313]

Now walk him

[Fred Hornkohl]

Escobar stole second base
