laughedatbytime Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Bradley for the 'Stros pitched six amazing innings tonight against the Giants. SF is making a comeback after being down 1-4 most of the game. ETA: Bottom of 9th, Giants have tied it at 4-4 with 2 outs and runners at 2nd and 3rd.Goes to extra innings...where the Astros go up 5-4 in the top of the 10th. Giants load the bases in the bottom and tie it 5-5. Bases still loaded with 2 down... Can Crawford get it done for the Giants?You gonna just leave us hanging?Sorry...went to bed! Watched this morning and the Giants gave up two in the 12th. The Astros reliever had a pitching cadence that I loved. Quick pitch, almost...certainly by today's snail-paced standards. That brings me to this. Last night my son had a little league game. In two hours we got through four innings. The opposing team scored 8 runs on no hits. How? By shrinking the strike zone, walking, and stealing bases on a nine-year-old catcher. They even stole home. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GAT5XlPWIdE/T4IDO6WQkJI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/T-sgFKhOSWs/s1600/joker-clapping.gifMoneyball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about taking advantage of market inefficiencies. Moneyball teams steal when it is advantageous to do so (like against nine year olds.) The somewhat funny part of it is that the players drafted in the draft that was the focus of most of the initial part of the book was pretty much a failure.

I thought Moneyball teams' issue with stealing was that on balance it was more likely to give away an out. Like with sacrifice bunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Moneyball teams' issue with stealing was that on balance it was more likely to give away an out. Like with sacrifice bunting.It is, but there's a success rate (context dependent) where it is a benefit. For example, if there's a 100% chance of success it will be beneficial. At 0% it is an obvious detriment. The key is to figure out at what percentage it switches over to having positive expected value and going for it then.
