Amazing Mike Piazza stat

It's runs scored, not runs batted in :)

Good point...

batted leadoff, not played leadoff.

Yeah, nobody else in Washington can get on base

And Sori bats leadoff. He does have 110 runs, so it's not so terrible.

Soriano bats behind the pitcher! 91 RBIs is awesome for an NL leadoff hitter.

I misinterpreted Runs Scored for RBIs, and I figure that DNL thought I made that mistake, so pointed it out. If you bat leadoff, you'd think you'd get more RS than RBI, and I guessed that by fluke of chance, Piazza had leadoff a lot of innings. I doubt this is really the case, it was just a possible explanation I offered. I'm not sure that comparing it to someone that had 32HR and 69RBI helped, when the point was regarding RS, but there we go. I am happy to admit I was wrong. (or at least was confused and misinterpreted it) Just let me think of something to blame it on...

he leads off every inning and either homers or gets out... or just gets on base with no one else on and two outs all the time... or gets picked off alot By the info provided, we don't know how many RBI he has, it could only be 22 for all we know?

Alex, blame it on a case of bad bangers and mash... please???

I think things like this are the true value of stats. (IMO)

Okay... if it makes you happy Manny...

i knew i shouldnt have written thereby.

Yeah, the fact that he's pinch-run for so often is probably a big factor. I didn't even consider it.

According to the article, Piazza has 22 HRs. :) At 20 a year it'll take him four years, so it's not out of the question.
