00:00I also think that there's a number in that discussion regarding the number when you asked
00:04Layla about the one-run games.
00:07To me, the conclusion is staring us in the face.
00:11Playing that many one-run games means you're bad.
00:15It's just like their numbers with runners in scoring position.
00:18Do you know when they have runners in scoring position?
00:20With two outs!
00:21Well, the point is, anybody at bat is in scoring position if they hit it over the fence.
00:26And they haven't constructed a team to take advantage of situations like that.
00:29I just think that the idea of these...
00:33Bad teams play a lot of one-run games because it means they're not scoring enough runs.
00:37Bingo!
00:38And you're a slave to variance at that point.
00:42That if you're in those, you're going to win some, you're going to lose some.
00:44And there's really nothing over the course of one season to the next.
00:48Some years you're going to win more of them.
00:50But to put yourself in a situation where you are at the whim of some of those outcomes.
00:57Don't play one-run games.
01:00Win by five!
