How do you get hitters to raise their success against same side pitching? Not pinch hitting a .170 hitter for him.

Ps. i been playing that occasionally while busking this weekend in the greater Boston area, and no one's commented on it.

That song on a sousaphone should be recorded for all here to enjoy!

You need a Neil Diamond cover.

What is the probability of winning 12 Major League Baseball games in a row?

Fun question and I'm here to tell you there is no simple answer. 😀

Yes, well, I was remembering something from the past, and fortunately the TD search function works very well when you have an uncommon yet specific keyword to look up:

You’re right - no one really wants to know how the sausage is made.

It happens about once a year, for some team, doesn't it?   I'll go with that, and not bother to show my work, that it even kind of makes sense.*

* And, if someone responds with data  that shows it typically happens twice a year, or just once every other year, I can adjust my calculations to suit.

Looking at that game thread I couldn't help but notice Byron Buxton hitting 7th with a pitcher hitting lineup

I didn't post the link with that in mind, but there's a treasure trove of memories from 7 years ago.  The two batters at the top of the Giants' batting order were Twins alumni, Denard Span and Eduoardo Nunez. 

Nunez is kind of fun to look back at. He amassed 3000+ plate appearances, yet his career WAR hovers around 0, and whatever you think of those particular metrics, the PA sounds weird but the WAR sounds about exactly right. 😀  His longevity puts him in somewhat exclusive company, as only about 2000 players ever came to bat that many times.  The other side of the coin is that only about 650 of those compiled a lifetime OPS lower than Eduardo's .714.
