2022 Official OBN Predictions Thread

The Pirates were dead last with BA with RISP in MLB. Found it in Yahoo

[Surgnbuck]

Some BA with RISP for the team this year:



Bae .500 (good call having him bunt Tuesday night Shelton )

Newman .315

Gamel .311

Cruz .303

Park .300

Delay .267

Castro .245

Reynolds .229

Hayes .227

Chavis .226

Andujar .212



Don't ask me why these were the only names listed. I filtered all players, not just qualified. They only list the first 200 players, so we can assume everyone else is at/below .210, the average of the 200th player listed (get this-it's Eduardo Escobar, the same guy who has some sort of insane record for hitting success against one team, that being the Pirates)

They were 7th in triples this season, a bit of a drop from 3rd in 2021. But they were 29th in doubles, dropping from 23rd the previous year. The were 29th in total hits this year, 24th the year before.



So we wanted to see more power, but the problem was we just didn't get guys on base enough.  I still can't find stats for batting with RISP, but I'm guessing we were at the bottom there too.



Yep, have to scratch your head that [highlight]they were WORSE offensively in runs scored, with a DH for 162 games. It wasn't supposed to work that way.[/highlight]


For a normal organization, no, it shouldn't work that way. But when your DH is the fourth outfielder or a utility infielder on a club destined to lose 100 games, one gets what one pays for.

Way to go Possum. Truth be told, the Mrs. did the prediction for you

Congrats Possum!!!!!!



Next season we will not lose 100 games. I hope that helps you in your quest to win two in a row.
