Baseball stats

Well projecting runs scored seems like fun, but the actual Runs scored seems more important than a forecast.

Anyways, I’m glad to see the first two replies not discount runs.

Good point about the new breed of lead off hitters. They are OBP guys first, speed isn’t necessary. The *teams* must be (to your point) interested in scoring runs even if the actual stat of RUNS SCORED seems de-emphasized by the math wizards of the day.
