Ya.  LOL.

I remember the SB break-even point as 67-70%; I think Pete Palmer gave the runs gained from an SB at around +0.30 and the runs lost from a CS about -0.60.

But that's cut from a fairly rough-hewn board.  Not considered are factors like "does the pitcher get out of synch worrying about Martin if he's still on 1B" and "what if Sonny Gray is out there and you can't score except through a manufactured run" and etc.

All the stats say that SB's correlate badly with runs scored and wins, but I hae me doots.

.....

Still, the takeaway is that Jerry DiPoto said one thing "we'll get athletic", and did another.  That's not a criticism, just an observation.
