GDT: Washington Nationals @ Toronto Blue Jays (2/3)

[Stangstag]

Didn’t Buck say they’re hitting over .300 with RISP in august?

 

Well… the record certainly doesn’t show it

[Stangstag]

Yeah. Point is, hitting with RISP isn’t something that is consistent. Look at the Rangers for the flip side of the RISP fluctuations right now.

 

Funnily enough, the Rangers are also bottom of the league in pull% so they might have the same problem as the Jays.

The flyouts to CF seem to be a thing but how do you explain the hitting with RISP?

 

They are 12th overall by various batting metrics but drop to 25th or so with RISP. I can't figure out how to find the numbers without runners in scoring position but I bet it's Top 8 or better.

 

How does a Top 10 hitting team suddenly turn into one of the worst when there are runners on base?

 

That has to be luck?

Maybe. Though their hitting with RISP was off the charts high in the first few months

Damn straight, Tango explained it as negligible.
