I don't even care what sort of dumbassery is behind that block. But here's the basic math.
BABIP bottoms out around .270 on a team basis. I'll drop it to .250 because I can. A team that strikes out 900 times, as opposed to 1200, with get 75 more hits. Teams might hit into DP 2% of the time. But, **** it, let's say 5% of the time. Team Low K will hit in to 15 more DP. They still have 210 more outs to make. Let's say 2% of the time they make one of tec's productive outs(low but we're doing worst case). That's 4 productive outs and 206 that were exactly the same as a whiff.
68% of the time, nothing changed.
5% of the time, it was a "disaster".
27% of the time, it was better than whiffing.
Wouldn't most teams takes that?
