    06 i used the"timely hitting" for lack of a bb vocabulary. Several times we had guys in scoring position and couldnt advance them around. What do the stats show your odds of scoring with men on 2nd&3rd with no outs? We had that once and we failed to score a single run.

    May not work for you, but it works for me!

    "Timely hitting" is a very common term, probably one that Sim preaches to his players. I just don't believe in clutch hitting. It's a myth. There's a .376 chance our hitters get on base regardless of situation, and each hitter has his own probability. It's just good/bad luck if they produce above/below that number with RISP.

    With 0 outs and runners at 2B and 3B, we should expect 2.32 runs scored, and we should score at least 1 run 90% of the time.

    I'm curious as to what you can conclude from those stats, especially with the tiny sample size.

    You didn't include walks, which is one of the most important statistics. You also didn't include extra base hits.

    Batting average was a stat created at the time of the Civil War, and it's been passed down from generation to generation. It's not a good stat. The objective of hitting should be to get on base without creating an out, not to get a hit. Stats should be sorted by OBP (not batting average) with SLG right next to it. In many cases, a walk is just as good as a single. Hitting a home run is better than hitting a triple which is better than hitting a double which is better than hitting a single. You didn't take any of that into account.

    Stats like LOB and RBI are stats of situation. Take LOB for example. All of the runners LOB are credited to the guy who made the 3rd out, but the guys who made the 1st and 2nd outs aren't credited with any runners LOB. Aren't they just as guilty as the last guy? Let's say a guy strikes out with 1 out and the bases loaded. Then the next guy hits a deep fly ball to CF to end the inning. The guy who hit the deep fly ball gets credited with all 3 runners LOB, and the guy who struck out doesn't get credited with any runners LOB. If the two were switched in the lineup, the guy who hit the deep fly ball would get an RBI sac fly, and the guy who struck out would get credited with 2 runners LOB. It'd be a 5 LOB swing. Runners LOB is an unfair statistic. Same thing goes with RBI. Rarely is anyone on base when Gebhardt comes to the plate, but Williams usually has guys on. Every player has a different amount of variable RBI opportunities based on situation.

    Strikeouts are relevant because that's the worst thing you can do at the plate (unless you are Austin Hedges).

    We've already kinda discussed errors. It's a very subjective stat. Half the time our scorekeeper credits a hit instead of an error. It seems like Kimbell has made errors that didn't get called, but he also doesn't get any bonus points for making the web gem on Thursday. Gandy has made at least 3 web gems in LF that I can recall, but his fielding stats don't give him any bonus. White probably has more range than anybody else in our outfield, but he doesn't get extra credit for tracking down balls that the others can't get to. To record an out, infielders usually have to make a catch and a throw to record an out, but outfielders usually just have to make a routine catch. Infielders have to deal with the bounce of the baseball while outfielders just have to run to the end of a clear path of the baseball in the air. The error is another bad statistic.
