Jeebus, Chez: 29 pitches to record 4 outs???

He got 2 outs on 1 pitch, and 1 more on Stewart's throw...so how many pitches to get the other 3?

 

[Stokes1931]

Stewart just took Whiteside's job.

OK, so he can throw guys out at 2nd. Can he block pitches in the dirt?

 

[SFGRTB]

I'm looking at Crawford and Burriss this inning.

A bunch.

IIRC leadoff walks score about 75% of the time...tonight 0-3. 50-1 odds against that happening.

Fucking weird.

Looks like the Good Ross showed up today.

Can Whiteside?

Whiteside is a terrific ball blocker, but sometimes has trouble catching it and also doesnt throw to second very well. He also has a few too many brain lapses when blocking- I.e he doesn't block.

Fucking weird.

Is that 75% rate for all of baseball? Wonder where the Giants rate on that stat. This season, less than 30%?

 

[nateistheshi]

Thunderstorms going on where I'm at...first game all week I've been able to watch so I'll be so pissed if I lose power.

 

[tzill]

Nice AB by Crawbaby...

Dave Smith of retrosheet.org checked every game from 1974 through 2002. This 29 year period covered 61365 games and 1,101,019 half innings.

The chart below shows the number of times the leadoff batter reached, the number of times they scored, and the frequency at which they scored.

Reach Score Freq
1B 183468 72841 .397
2B 48364 30961 .640
3B 6573 5753 .875
HR 27205 27205 1.000
BB 82637 33002 .399
HP 6217 2543 .409
INT 81 22 .272
E 12105 5298 .438

Based on the table if the leadoff batter walks he will score 39.9% of the time. A single results in 39.7% so it's pretty similiar.

Dave also analyzed the chances of scoring a run if the leadoff batter gets out. When the leadoff batter made an out the offensive team scored at least one run 16.1% of the time.

So the odds of scoring a run with a leadoff walk is about 2 1/2 times greater then if the batter got out.
