You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of coaching decisions and slow catchers but of plate appearances. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of your lineup slots. That’s a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the stolen base zone!
Not too long ago on this very site, I wrote an article about which catchers had the slowest pop times and worst caught stealing percentages.
Even less long ago I wrote about which team managers allowed their players to attempt the most stolen bases.
Now comes my honors thesis at the Grey Albright School for Fools: which players each week are on a team run by a manager who likes to steal bases AND are facing a catcher who isn’t great at throwing out runners!
Please, blog, may I have some more?
