Mariner fans and the 2-hole

By Tangotiger, 02:11 PM

There some chatter here about the #2 hitter, the role of bunting, and the difference in run environment. 

I should note that MGL wrote the sac bunt chapter, not me.  I did the batting order chapter.  I think he used 2000-2005 as his data source, whereas I used 1999-2002.

In any case, I’ll answer any question in general-speak that anyone has.  I invited the readers there to this thread.
