95%?
Is that some sort of benchmark? Where did you find that number?
What are other teams doing in that situation?
Thanks

Not worried about that.

Lsu has been really bad all season with bases loaded with chances to break games open and it seems like they very rarely ever do.

I hope if they get bases loaded against Oklahoma, they make them pay for it.

You could have just read my reply instead of bumping the thread.

I think Skip once said that the odds of getting the runner home from 3rd when there are no outs is something like 93%. But, Skip is as likely as anyone to grab an impressive stat out of the air.
