Seem to be doing that a lot here lately .... Kind of a good news/bad news type of thing.
Had discussed this on another thread a few days ago. A HR now and then clears the bases and you don't leave as many on base. You can have 18 hits in a game and not score if there are 2 singles in every inning. We did bunch some hits last night it appears in the one inning. Not complaining, just stating some concerns going forward. And different managers have different strategies. For those that remember Earl Weaver of the Orioles it was said that he played for the 3 run home run. Didn't bunt much, didn't steal much (overall, but he had some good baserunners at times). Get the guys on and wait for the long ball.
Homeruns are nice but I'll take the team that is reliable for pitching, getting hits, and walks. The top 2 teams in HRs in the MLB last year Baltimore, and Seattle didn't even make the playoffs. I know it's not college but still saber metrics don't lie!
