He once said something about Dr. Longball fixing much of what ails a team. That was Z's roster construction philosophy, come to think of it.
Martin and Marte can motor. Booger and O'Malley can, too, to a lesser degree. Of course, it is possible those guys are farmhands on opening day. The bigger issue is not running yourself out of innings, that is more important than running yourself into runs. See the '15 M's, if you need an example.
3 decades ago, Doc....didn't BJ write about the 75% threshhold on attempted stolen bases? Anything less than such a success rate was costing you lots of runs. The number of steals was less important than the SB %.
Those great Oriole teams, '69-'74 succeeded between 64%-70% if the time. From '69-'72 Earl usually ran only about 120 times a year (M's attempted 114 last year), but in '73-'74 he changed his tune and the O's ran 210 and 203 times. The Old Dog Earl learned a new trick. Bumbry, Baylor (who had wheels) and Coggins might do that for you.
I hadn't realized Earl's change of philosophy until I just was checking out his team's success rate. Interesting....
