“I’m into sabermetrics” says Joel Skinner

By Tangotiger, 01:58 PM

He didn’t say it in so many words, but he may as well just have:

Well, the best way to shut down the running game is to keep them off base in the first place, but if the Red Sox *do* get on base, we’re not going to do a damn thing differently, and if Boston wants to run into outs in front of Ortiz and Ramirez, God bless ‘em.

Which is exactly why you don’t want to put speedsters in front of those guys.
