I knew about this
I mean, I knew about it in a broad sense, but I hadn’t seen the numbers. This is completely nuts.
Manufacturing runs
Cubs-Phillies, top 3, two outs. Ryan Theriot singles and then steals second on a super-late throw. Starlin Castro then proceeds to hit a forty-hopper right to third baseman Placido Polanco, who slaps it into the outfield for an error, and allows Theriot to score.
According to Len Kasper, that’s what manufacturing a run is: getting on base and then coming home on an error. Fucking work on that, guys.
