Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 4730827, member: 2133"] The doubles thing is something I've keyed on since May/June. They get some guys on base, but the only extra base hits they get are HRs and those don't come frequently enough to score runs. Mix in some doubles which clear bases and don't need an EV of 100+mph to be a hit. Selling out for a HR is a thing, surely, I'm not sure how to quantify the pros and cons versus not selling out for HRs and teams like the Braves are definitely swinging for the fences. I was looking back at some of those 80s and 90s teams that were good ... 1985, goddamn, having prime Ricky and still very good Willie hitting in front of prime Donnie Baseball and Winnie? Oof.
