The runner on first scores <b>more</b> often in that scenario than when he's the only one on. <br /><br />Or, there is no impact of having a runner ahead of you when trying to score from first on a double, despite conventional wisdom that poor Joey Gathright would be clipping at the heels of Lyle Overbay, preventing him from scoring in that instance.

Isn't a sign of a pitcher struggling, while even Doc and Tiny Tim put a man on first now and then? <br /><br />Just wonderin'.Gil Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177204960812280259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-58985727021974391812010-03-27T05:10:03.873-04:002010-03-27T05:10:03.873-04:00I think "fatigued arm" will now become m...I think "fatigued arm" will now become my new go-to term for any pitcher related struggle.bkbladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993067848904779017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-747236263452087289.post-15923355336939815662010-03-27T00:52:17.763-04:002010-03-27T00:52:17.763-04:00I heard about Minus the Bear two months ago when a...I heard about Minus the Bear two months ago when an ex-gf tweeted about them...
