[QUOTE=jbergey22;4687275]Is your team packed full of turtles?
"Biggest issue I see is that I dont call for the stolen base enough as Im constantly on the low side of that."
I NEVER attempt stolen bases (i.e straight steals). The results are never positive, even with great base stealers.
The key is for the next batter to get ahead in the count (whether by taking pitches or by good luck) and then to use the run and hit NOT the hit and run), ideally with the count 2-1.
Yes, sometimes you will suffer the misfortune of lining into a DP but I've found the stealing success rate to be vastly higher when the batter takes the next pitch or has a swinging strike.
