You get that up to just .265 and law of averages puts you at least 4-5 more games won over the course of a 162-game season

Bryce only had 120+/- opportunities the ENTIRE SEASON with runners in scoring position; to put that in perspective Bryan Reynolds on the freaking Pirates had 190+

If Bryce had even close to that same amount, and you put that to law of averages again, he’d easily be over 100+ RBI, running away with the MVP, and you’d just happen upon another 4-5 more wins (most likely more) because of Bryce alone

(These are just a smattering of what-could-easily-have-been examples)

Soooo many missed opportunities this year. Their position right now is ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT. I hope they lose out the rest of the way and embarrass themselves further.

Some good info here!

I'd like to see how many of Bryce's at bats lead off an inning. I swear he's almost always up first in 4th, 6th and 9th innings.
