Only in a vacuum, sir.

You wouldn't want to hit into a double play, so you strikeout to allow the next person to hit the purest best outcome, a home run.

In fact... putting the ball in play at all if runners are on lessens the chance of follow up hitters reaching the plate in order to have a chance at the purest best outcome, a home run.

Runs scored via base hit are just dumb luck.

Its not just good. It correlates with winning more than any other stat. Maybe it wont be as overwhelmingly important in this era, but the way people keep quoting Heyward's average and leaving out the obp is ignorance.

only a couple of people were using it, most notably a Cub fan from Elmhurst

The 2016-17-18 playoffs are promised to nobody. On paper, the Nationals were the best team in MLB going into 2015. How did that work out for them?

Look, a young Cub team surpisingly went to the NLCS and now they're filling holes in free agency. I dont see how it goes wrong

You were a year early anyway.

Well, there was no playoff run in baseball history that was more dominating.
