From there, I'd love to see the explanations given for the discrepancy.
The Cardinals, for example, have had an absolutely atrocious offense in extras for years, and I don't think all of it can be pinned solely upon having bench players hit in the pitcher's spot or another place in the lineup. There has to be a reason why they are so abjectly pathetic, especially given that they are usually facing far worse pitchers in extras (Jeanmar Gomez) than in innings 1-9.

Your the sabermatrics guy. Who can answer that better than you?
For me, it just feels good to get off the 0-41 snide.
