Title: RBI Mythbusters
Post by: Gantry on 07/31/05, 04:51:29 PM
Malnu's bumped thread give me an idea for the RBIdb.  RBI Mythbusters, things people believe but aren't true.  Here is a stud, suggest more and I'll add them:

* Pitchers can't go yard
* Some pitchers hit better than others
* Pressing the button makes you run faster
* Berenguer is a sidearmer
* Throwing too quickly causes BOPs
* Bench players are worse fielders
* Some fielders throw better than others
* Some fielders are more BOP-prone than others
* Batters actually have positions in the field
* Some fielders are faster than others
* Rickey Henderson is in NES RBI
* Kevin McReynolds is in NES RBI
* Players whose first name starts with "H" makes them more clutch

Too lazy to think any further, a litle help...

Throwing the ball too quickly raises your probability of a fielding error
Error probability is [per player, the same for everyone, anything but per team]

That's what I meant by " Pressing the button causes BOPs", but your wording is better.  Will add them now...

Pinch hitters whose last name start with H are more likely to get "clutch hits"

I disgree with the pitcher hitting ability one.

It is a known fact that Don Robinson is the best hitter in the game.

some hitters are spray hitters

(no hitter has a tendency to hit in any direction.  its all based on when you swing)

What about:

*running back and forth on the basepaths causes the opposing team to BOP more frequently
*Kirby Puckett is white

George Brett is a righty
John Kruk bats just like all of the regular, 2-nutted players

*Fernando Valenzuela can't play every position, including the umpire.

I hate that one. Everyone knows he can.
