My working definition of "good" is when a pitcher usually holds the opponent to a lower percentage than their overall team batting average. Mediocre and lower is when teams consistently bat better...
I agree. However, it seems to me that we bat extraordinarily well against mediocre pitching and extraordinarily woeful against good pitching. Thus our averages are deceitfully inflated by how good...
In the game you mentioned, was there a pitching change after the bases were loaded?
Still believe our elevated performance against lower tier pitching confounds the overall averages. What are our percentages against decent pitching?
I realize this is true of many teams but we seemingly hit really well against mediocre pitching but not so much against decent pitching and really poorly against good pitching.
