If postseason success hinges on getting home field advantage I don't like your chances anyways. You are correct, it doesn’t all hinge on it but our chances for advancing are a lot better with it and they should at least be making the effort to get it.

maxjusttyped Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I don't really know what to make of Vaughn's RISP struggles. I can't find the splits with 2 outs and RISP, but with RISP overall, his strikeout rate is better than in non RISP situations and his pull rate is down significantly as well. It's obvious just from watching he seems to look uncomfortable in these situations, but nothing in the numbers really jumps out that he's doing wrong.

chw42 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Watching that AB to Meadows just now, whose idea was it for Bummer to throw him a sinker on the first pitch on Friday? You gotta slider him to death if you got a lefty pitching, especially one with as good of a slider as Bummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Definitely doesn't break it down, in terms of how many outs, but you can see enough of the trend overall, with RISP and Vaughn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
