Default Runs Scored, Why so Little Emphasis?

Posted By: Dan Koteles

well in the day and age of the home run or nothing, many kids forget how this game is meant to be, runs scored is absolutely the most important , w/o em you cant win games.

last year on my city "A" team, i scored 7 runs in 16 abs, w 5 hits ,4 were infield
OBP of 700 reached base 14 of 20 times w/o causing an out. Not one of my teammates even recognized the 7 runs statistic, they all comment on long fly ball outs. mY 40 and over team do not act this way. I wish you could teach todays 18-24yr olds taht an out is an out no matter how good that you look !!!!

Matter of fact , many high fived my 1bman for his long fly balls, he barely hit 100.
