Interestingly, Frenchy batted 116 times with a man on first this year (don't know how many times it was Butler). He hit 5 doubles.
He hit 49 times with men on first and second. One double.
Eleven times with 1st and 3rd. Zero doubles. Ten times with the bases loaded. Zero doubles.
ONLY 9 OF HIS 26 DOUBLES CAME WITH MEN ON BASE.
