Go-Go Gomezes

Carlos Gomez stole two bases in the top of the 12th inning Tuesday night to set up the game winning single by Hector Gomez as the Brewers beat the Cardinals 3-2. For Hector, it was his first RBI in 10 MLB games. Carlos is exactly the kind of player who should be moving himself around the bases on his own. For his career, he is 203 for 252 attempting steals, an 80.6% success rate. That’s productive in any run environment, and especially in the low scoring one we are currently experiencing. He’s 33 for 43 on the season, and given his .356 OBP, he gets plenty of opportunities.
