But if the bases are full and none out, the batting team has an expectation of scoring 2.3 runs before the inning is ended.

Dr. Lindsey, who has played amateur‘ but not professional | baseball, sald many baehall managers work on hunches that are often based on experience and are frequently right. But statistical evidence could back up these hunches.

“It may prove profitable to use spring training and practice ses- sions to accumulate certain spe- cial data for key players. The pressure of a league game could not be simulated, but it should

Dr Lindsey’s charts show that the double play at second and first with none out and the bases loaded in the last of the ninth is probably preferable to the force, at home for one out for the field- ing team if its lead is greater than two runs. .
