Luckily you get 3 strikes, you are quoting stats on single pitches. If players can get bunts down 50% of the time, then given 3 tries it is like saying what are chances of flipping at least one head in 3 tries? ...7/8
-
No, but that is why I am frustrated, everything in baseball is always the same. Same approach at the plate, no matter the score, inning, count baserunners etc. Same bullpen use, Smith 8th, KRod 9th, no matter the score, inning, count baserunners, next hitters etc. There is no situational baseball at all.

It's rather difficult to hit a 95 MPH fastball exactly how you want to. If it was that easy, guys would hit a bit better than they do. You don't need to hit it exactly where you want to, you need to hit the ball within 50% of all valid directions. Its really just an extension of bunting, according to you it would be rather difficult to bunt a 95 MPH fastball, but its not and even pitchers can do it. It is that easy but guys would hit worse because you sacrifice power for the control, guys would hit many more weak balls and slugging would be non existent

We have had 3 innings today with a runner on 2nd with 0 outs and scored 0 runs in those innings
-
Schafer didn't have to go. Does everyone realize if Schafer stays the inning just goes 2B, 6-3, K, 6-3 and no run. Schafer's baserunning had nothing to do with not scoring there. The problem is that 1) Lucroy should not be trying for a hit and should have bunted or grounded to the right side. 2) Then Gomez should not have tried for a hit and just lofted the ball into the OF or squeezed. Both players should have choked up and not taken full swings, just slapped at the ball. They would rather retire than do this.
-
Stop calling it a baserunning mistake (which it was) but that is on Lucroy for a horrible roll over groundout
-
I am so sick of these guys refusing to play baseball. What are you diong Lucroy, just groundout to the 2nd baseman or bunt. RRR and the coaches straight up dont care. I would have been benched for that garbage in high school, but in the majors no one cares

That is an out with Scooter at 2B

Segura freezes on the line drive but still goes to 3rd. Idiot

Davis is putting on a clinic in LF today

why did Weeks hesitate?

Scooter Gennett gets called up to MLB
topper09er replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
First of all those are only his stats as a 2B, not total, which seems like fudging the numbers to get the result you want. His full line is .308/.344/.473/.817 while having the platoon advantage 87% of the time. For comparison, Chase Utley has had the platoon advantage 70% of the time this year and has put up a line of .293/.354/.449/.804 If you weighed Scooter's splits 70/30 instead of 87/13 his line would be: .273/.307/.411/.718 -

One of the Black Sox' Eight Men Out was WI native Happy Felsch. He had a pretty nice career going before his lifetime ban, missing most of the 1918 season serving in WWI. He hit .192 in the 1919 WS
-
Pants Rowland, from Platteville, WI was the skipper for the victorious 1917 Chicago White Sox. He was also the manager for the Sox in 1918, but he was not the manager in 1919 when the Black Sox Scandal hit. Yes, he had a lifelong rivalry with this guy
-
Another WI - Cubs link besides Merkle is Ryne Duran. More of a traitor to WI than Wendy Selig-Prieb, he was a big part of the Yanke 1958 3-1 WS deficit comeback against the Braves. He had a big triple digit fastball. This was his WS line [pre]Year Tm Lg Series Rslt Opp W L ERA G GF SV IP H R ER HR BB SO 1958 NYY AL WS W MLN 1 1 1.93 3 2 1 9.1 7 2 2 0 6 14[/pre] He was the namesake for Ryne Sandberg, a Chicago hero, but purely by chance as his dad was watching the Yankees while trying to think of his unborn baby's name. They are the only 2 players in MLB history named Ryne. He was also a hard drinker and was very involved with AA after his career
-
I assume you mean this from the 1970 WS. Brooks was still better, he was moving away from 1st and had to retire a player that was not walking down the line.
