Whenever I see the name, I think of Picard saying, "Mr. Worf...could this be a Dyson Sphere?"
But it almost never should be. The double switch only helps if you're planning on using the reliever you're bringing in for the next inning (or 2 innings). These days, that's almost never the case.
Granted, if you are going to make a defensive switch anyway then you might as well double-switch.
In support of #6, Dyson's 50 career steals are in just 450 career PA and 106 career starts.
But if I was being a jerk (moi?), my follow-up question would have been whether he has set a goal of, say, a 340 OBP.
And as a Royal, he would probably ask you what "OBP" was.
Ever notice how often Frenchy makes an out.
Yeah, I guess.
Well, the opposite of that.
Why would I want to be the opposite of Frenchy?
50 steals baby!
If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?
