if they score. If they remain standing on base like gulumkies then who needs them.

When building a ballclub, it's best to focus on guys that get on...

...and let the driving them in take care of itself. If you’re paying attention to hitting with runners on base, then you don’t have enough runners on base.

I'd agree

I don’t mind clogging the bases with runners as long as we unclogg them on occasion.

How else would you measure a pitcher then?

Quality starts? Walks and hits seem pretty fundamental to me?

by dtpollitt on Jun 30, 2008 11:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Walks are fundamental, hits are not.

HIts are largely a function of the team’s defense, not the pitcher. Pitchers should be mainly judged upon their Three True Outcomes; walks, strikes, home runs. Everything else is mainly the responsiblity of the other eight guys on the field. (GB/FB rate and IFFB% are also noteworthy.)

i thought you said

a pitcher couldn’t control whether it was a fly or grounder, or something?

not trying to be difficult, just wondering

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 30, 2008 11:52 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

You can control whether it's a fly ball or a ground ball.

One isn’t necessarily better than the other – fly balls are more easily turned into outs, but you allow more extra base hits. It’s a subtle effect.

What you can’t do is control whether or not those balls are fielded for outs, at least not that much. And the line drive rate doesn’t seem to be within a pitcher’s control.

Over a pitcher's career, his Batting Average on Balls in Play...

...(essentially, hits allowed when he doesn’t get a True Outcome) will stabilize between .280 and .300. That’s true for almost everyone; some guys like Tim Wakefield are an exception, but Wakefield has a knuckler.
