..."my team really stinks behind me". I have been saying this for two years now. It seemed like every time I got on base in RTTS my team just couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. So I did a little study. I tracked 5 weeks worth of games of my RTTS at the double a level. I tracked every at bat by my cpu team after I was on base, regardless of how I got on base (i.e. hit, error, fielder's choice). I stopped tracking once I was off of the base paths regardless of how I got off (i.e. scored, doubled off, picked off). Also, no regards to whether I hit in the order were paid. The manager moved me anywhere from 2nd to 6th and I hit close to .400 during this study. Here are the numbers:
From the beginning of the last week of May to the end of June my team had 80 ab's while I was on the base paths. They had 18 total hits, 7 walks, 3 hbp, 18 rbi, and an amazing 31 k's.
The simple numbers:
While I was on the bases my team had a BA of .225, slug% .300, and a k avg of .387.
For two years, no matter what team I was on and at what level, I always thought that my team sucked behind me. Now I'm quite sure. But I can't be the only one who has ever thought this. Surely, there are others. Any thoughts out there?
