Any chance of running a column of total baserunners next to that LOB column?
Hey Baseball Tonight genius, what’s NYA and NYN I don’t which one’s the Yankees or the Mets
A = American, N = National. so NYA is the Yankees, NYN is the Mets. the same follows for the Chicago teams, but not for LA.
it does hold true for the Angels, just not the Dodgers
At Hardball Times, they call the Dodgers LAN, don’t they? Or is it LAD? I thought it was LAN.
[Double check at HT] Nope, I was wrong. LAD.
Seems like you need pretty good offense to get those guys on base in the first place. Seems like it’s better to leave a bunch on base than never to get any there in the first place. There’s a pretty good distribution of really good and really bad teams at the top of the list, so it looks like whoever has the clutch hitters gets the runs across. That’s how Theo built the Sox… put the right guys in the right spot at the right time.
As a Reds fan, I know we would be leading if we got more runners on base.
