Pretty simple way to watch baseball:
If the batter hits a hard liner, it was a better AB than the guy who hits a 39 hopper through the hole, even if the second guy gets on, because statistically, the first guy is more likely to get hits and runs from that kind of contact.
Apply the opposite analysis to pitching, but factor in location of the pitch as well:
Crow's pitch to Bourn on Friday was a good pitch. The cement mixers that Chen had guys popping out on weren't. One guy was really lucky; one guy wasn't.
