I saw it. Doesn't matter. We didn't score. Terrible. I'm very aware he hit it hard into a dp. I am also aware McHugh is a pitcher. I'm saying it's terrible we have a good opportunity and we can't capitalize. Hence why we have a sub .500 record.
You must have missed the inning where the Cardinals had 3 hits, 2 of them being extra base hits, and still didn't score. Now THAT was terrible.
I'm curious what the %age of scoring 1 run (or more) in that scenario is for NL teams: 1st/2nd, 0 out, 8 hitter up, in the 1st 5 innings (because I'd want to remove the possibility of pinch hitting for the P as much as possible). I'd imagine 40%?
In general, the 1st and 2nd/no out scenario scores a run about 60% of the time. If you presume an automatic out for the pitcher, you're essentially describing the same scenario with already 1 effective out, and that % is 40.
