1. TDF didn't lie, he just didn't remember Posted: July 01, 2014 at 12:37 PM (#4740717)I'm all for the idea of situational hitting and guys being able to accomplish different things more in tune with the moment. The thing is we have the ability to do the research on this. Shouldn't it be relatively easy to see Teixeira's fly ball rate in those situations compared to ordinary situations and determine if he really is adapting? I mean hey, a sac fly is better than a strikeout, agreed. How tough can it be to show that a player is in fact able to make those adjustments?
Where did Girardi say a SF is better than a hit? It seems Girardi is saying a SF* is better than trying to do too much and striking out (or popping up, I suppose), thus leaving that guy on third base. And in that sense, he's absolutely right.
* Whether Mark Teixeira is actually better at sac flying in those situations is another matter.
Man on 3rd in a tie game in the ninth. I'd take a SF over an infield hit that fails to advance the runner.
His fly ball : ground ball ratio does go up in sac fly situations, both those are a small percent of his overall career PA.
