Like you I was ready to take a bite out of the remote when Matheny pulled the infield in in the sixth inning!

There's an old baseball aphorism that "pulling the infield in adds 100 points to the batter's BA." Even a million years ago when I was a kid addicted to strat-o-matic baseball I thought it couldn't possibly be that simple - it has to vary with the ground ball/fly ball ratios of both the hitter and pitcher involved. (Among other variables.)

Your thoughts?
