As one of those sheep, I was giving a guy who has worked hard for a long time some credit. Good on him for making it to The Show regardless of the circumstances. I was not cheering the front office.

I'm at the game with my daughter tonight. 5th row down the 1st base line. Awesome that I'm going to get to see Beresford play!

Let's go Bux.

 

Good start, but it needs a two syllable name and some clapping: "Let's go, Buxie! {clap clap clapclapclap}". And maybe some cowbell.

 

Have it ready when he comes up again in the 12th.

Well, Molitor prevented that.

 

Well, in fairness to the front office, they did say that late inning run prevention was going to be their focus in the offseason. Looks like they got their man after all.

This strategy of giving up an out is pretty disproven. For example, Sean Dolinar of Fangraphs says that, between 2011 and 2013, there was a 41.13% chance of scoring a run with a runner on first and no outs and a 39.37% - yes, smaller - chance of scoring one run with a runner on second and one out. This is not a theory, or old school vs. new school, or even advanced analytics. Yet for some reason Molitor, despite knowing he has a team of bad bunters, continues to prefer giving up the out.

I'm sensing some dissatisfaction with Molitor when I read between the lines.

It's not even new news, as the numbers have been known (and have remained similar) since the Internet was young.

Thanks. I will chop it up and freeze it. Need to figure out some recipes.
