One more thing on the run expectancy numbers: 12 no outs has a run expectancy of 1.561, 23 1 out, 1.449. Remember that those figures are averages and one reason why the NON-bunt route is higher is that by not ceding an out (bunting) you increase the chances of a 'Big' inning [three, four, five runs...

That was actually one of the situations where bunting was a reasonable option. You want two runs there but you NEED one so a bunt puts both in scoring position, eliminates the traditional GiDP, and forces Miami to bring the infield in for at least one hitter and maybe two. If successful (and assumi...

And the Sym-Phony will be performing at the Rotunda. Plus Steve Cohen gets to build a brand new stadium to replace this idiotic ph...
