Default Joe Buck or the Red Sox - Who's weirder?

For the 79th time we've heard Joe Buck and to some extent Smoltz rail about the unusual amount of 2 out runs scored by the Red Sox.

I want to know what a normal distribution is for 0 out runs, 1 out runs and 2 out runs. My gut tells me that 0 out runs would be the least and 2 out runs would be the most, but what are the numbers and how much do they differ from the Red Sox regular season numbers. Forget the World Series for it is too small a sample to be meaningful.

Hopefully someone out there in Net54 land knows the answer or can find it quicker than I can.

If you do not know the answer, feel free to answer the question in the title anyway?

Default 1- out appears to he the winner

Stolen straight from internet:

More runs are scored with 1 out than with 0 or 2 outs, though almost as many are scored with 2 outs. For example, in 2013, 3329 runs have scored with 0 outs, 5518 runs have scored with 1 out, and 5416 runs have scored with 2 outs. [1]

Here is the percentage breakdown for a few particular years [2], and you can see that the pattern is very consistent:
2013 - 23.3% with 0 outs, 38.7% with 1 out, 38.0% with 2 outs
2012 - 24.0%, 38.4%, 37.6%
2011 - 22.9%, 39.7%, 37.3%
2010 - 23.2%, 38.5%, 38.3%
2000 - 23.8%, 38.8%, 37.3%
1990 - 22.1%, 40.1%, 37.8%
1980 - 22.1%, 40.2%, 37.7%
1970 - 22.8%, 39.8%, 37.5%

1970 - 22.8%, 39.8%, 37.5%


I guess it's fairly easy to see that producing runs with one out is more probable than doing the same with two outs, just because you can score while making the second out, but not the third.


Every other major variable involves 1.) the planning and execution of pitches, swings (or takes) and the defense and 2.) proper use of available players.



Much less (IMO) involved are weather (most of the time), playing surface maintenance, Stadium design, adequate umpiring, and, of course, dumb luck.

The Red Sox are weird when there's two outs.
Joe Buck is weird all the time.

Joe Buck will always bother me. I can't help but think he has his lofty position because of his father's good name and career.

That's pretty consistent over time. Not even a 10% deviation for the high and low within an area. I wonder how far back that goes.

I guess that means that the new strategy for the chart-mongers is having the lead-off hitters for each inning take 3 strikes. I mean by doing that, wouldn't that increase their chances of scoring by at least 50%?
