BB G1 Final: Louisiana 8, Marshall 4

[CajunStros]

30 games in and Rocco still doesn’t have his timing down. Wonder what is up with him.

Something is definitely up. Not sure if healthy, or if it’s between the ears with the draft looming.

Can someone justify the decision to try and steal third base with one out? To me, a runner on second is as good as a runner on third. A single brings that guy home 80% of the time. Of course after Willis gets thrown out we hit a double....

A runner on 3rd with one out scores about 50% of the time, and from 2nd base about 33% of the time. So you are 50% more likely to score from 3rd in that situation.

Now, not sure you attempt to get there via a steal, but definitely try to extend a double into a triple (if it makes sense) or go from 1st to 3rd on a single. That extra base is crucial with one out.

Do you have those percentages with just one out as opposed to two outs? I'm thinking you percentages are an all scenario breakdown.

They’re playing in Charleston which is about an hour from Marshall’s campus.

That is with one out.

Believe they getting a new on campus stadium or being renovated.

Thanks for explaining! Not sure if that 17% increase is worth it but I'm working with hindsight.

Gotcha

That’s embarrassing to our league. They need to do better than that.
