It's like AA only took half of the wisdom from Money Ball. He took the cheap HRs part, but forgot that you need to complement that with a few guys who'll get on base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-56845537090294282882010-07-13T09:57:45.564-04:002010-07-13T09:57:45.564-04:00Just to expand, it could be bad luck or it could b...Just to expand, it could be bad luck or it could be low OBP. <br /><br />One way to tell would be to go back and look at teams in history that had a high slugging to OBP ratio and determine the coefficients of determination for that sample group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-41181528758354321742010-07-13T09:52:57.489-04:002010-07-13T09:52:57.489-04:00Should the most prolific home run team really rank...<i>Should the most prolific home run team really rank 15th in runs scored? </i><br /><br />bad luck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-62376552428989729372010-07-13T08:16:17.125-04:002010-07-13T08:16:17.125-04:00The struggles of Aaron Hill and Adam Lind in the m...The struggles of Aaron Hill and Adam Lind in the middle of the line-up for most of the year are the biggest reason for the teams production struggles.
