If read that guys have estimated that the "break-even" success rate is 75%, but that's just dumb because that amalgamates a thousand different game situations. There are plenty of game situations where I'm sure a 60% success rate would break even. I was watching a game the other day where a team REALLY needed to advance a base runner, and the defensive team was playing a catcher who had been in the minors most of the season and was 0-11 against SB attempts. The pitcher never even threw over to 1B and the inning ended quickly. I'm also frequently amazed that there seem to be 2-3 guys in the Astros thread who are always calling for sac bunts to advance the runner. This situation is starting to really annoy me.

I honestly think stolen bases is the next biggest market inefficiency. Teams flat-out do not try to steal nearly enough (Tigers = 64 SB attempts all season). Guys like Naylor and Goldschmidt have shown that you don't even have to be speedy to be a successful base stealer. There needs to be at least one team that tries to go full-blown '85 Cardinals and just run and run and run. With so many shitty teams who really aren't trying to win, there is no excuse for at least one of them not to try something crazy. The most obvious team that should be trying this strategy is the Rockies. If I were GM, I'd try like hell to trade for Chandler Simpson and Victor Scott, have an every day outfield of Scott, Simpson, and Doyle, let them chase down everything that's hit and tell each of them that I want 100 SB attempts next season.- Spring Training in Mineral Wells

Thought we were going to see a reenactment of this:- 2025 MLB thread
Zach Neto is pretty good. Man, I remember laughing when they picked him in the 2022 draft. Hell, Neto and Horton look like the best players out of that draft. Horton pitched another gem tonight.- 2025 MLB thread
