No offense, but you don't know what you're talking about.

I know all about situational hitting, with a different perspective than most on this board, believe me. My argument is unaffected by what you're alluding to. |

Yes, I do understand a runner can score from 2nd. That is not the point so quit. Your argument is full of holes cause you are assuming the 2 guys who popped out would have taken the same approach had the runner situation been different. And if you know all about situational hitting, nevermind I played baseball for 10 year, you know I am speaking the truth. |

The reason the logic was flawed was the same reason it wasn't the right call to have Crisp bunt last night with runners on first and second. It flies in the face of the numbers. |

While your numbers in general are right, you are not taking into account who is at the plate. Last night's call, while not the best call, would have been fine had the bunt went down the 1st base line and not to the 3rd base side. |

Runner on 1st and 0 out = 43 percent chance of scoring Runner on 2nd and 0 out = 60 percent chance of scoring Runner on 3rd and 1 out = 54 percent chance of scoring "This decrease in scoring percentages makes sacrifice bunting the runner to third base extremely questionable if the batter is a decent hitter." Bloomquist is hitting 2nd. By virtue of putting him in this spot, Hillman is implicitly saying WB handles the bat well and is a "decent" hitter. But please, continue to tell me that I'm wrong. It's simple math. And Hillman doesn't know what the **** he is doing. |
