Out of curiosity do you use QC's? Whenever someone says they don't have issues with it and they play aggressive on the base paths with hit and runs I always wonder if this issue is more prevelant when using QC's. Many times I'll get Adrian Gonzalez on first after a single but with his 13 speed and the QC's often putting me behind in the count to start there really is no way to hit and run, makes me wonder if that's helping to contribute.

Yes, I use QC's.

I run a ton on 3-2. I feel good I can hit it into play or get ball 4.

I guess I'm not gutsy enough to do it unless there are 2 outs if the guy at second is slower then molasses. I'll have to start taking more chances and see what happens. You aren't seeing an influx in GIDP on your end at all?

I do think I was in the 20's in GIDP in the league and then I started to run on full counts more often. IMO that really helps me out. I seem to do a better job of focusing when I have that added pressure.

Yeah I've started to roll the dice a bit more just to avoid the double play. So far it has worked out pretty well other then the one time I swung early on a change and Uribe was thrown out with ease at 2nd base lol.

Through 28 games in my Giants chise and I've grounded into 35. One of the big factors as to why I'm near the bottom in runs scored.

In my double franchise with the Rays and Phillies both are still 29th and 30th in GIDP. It's getting ludicrous anymore. At least 2-3 EVERY game.
