    Apparently it's heading to the 7th inning, but that's all I've got.

    I would tell you too but Marty and Steve absolutely suck with details about the game.

    I do know Johnson is up and Wagner is pitching

    OldCat is correct. The more probable multiple base acquisition is with a runner on 1st, the less valuable a Stolen Base is.

    There you go with that spray painter nonsense. Good tarp rolling beats good spray painting every time. After all grass cutting is 75 percent of grounds-crewing. And is C-ROPS is an awful 22.3333.

    You go by the C-ROPS?? What a loser. Everyone knows the XFR matrix shows quality overall in a season.

    Looks at me...my name is OldCat and I use C-ROPS to rate groundscrew... *scoff*

    Wagner comes up limping.

    Is this the game thread? I seem to be lost in a parallel world

    Wagner gets clipped by Guillen trying to cover first base but remains in the game.

    True a successful CS is always a plus, but the value of the CS is the difference between the value of the current situation and the one after the CS. Imagine a league where the average SLG is, say 800. A man on first would be pretty likely to score, say 70 pct. if the chance to score on secons is 75 pct, then the max gain is 5 pct, the max loss 70 pct. You better make it almost all the time.

    Then we move to a pitchers league where the average SLG is 150. You might have a 10 pct chance to score from first, and a 25 pct from second. So the gain is 15 and the loss only 10. Get on your track shoes!

    Well, they should have known it before the series started but they've been well versed in it tonight.
