This is not just a CPM practice. It's universally done this way through out baseball.


Are you saying it's universal that runners are sent home on contact (ground ball) with 1 out?

not that you are asking me but down contact is universally in every teams "arsenal" and used from time to time. whether PM uses it more than others beats me.

moneyg, obviously who the runner is comes into play, but as a general practice, yes. Skip did it every year that he was HC, he was questioned about it in his early years, and he always gave the same answer: "the percentages favor sending the runner". Question CPM if you will, but questioning Skip's baseball IQ is ridiculous.
