All those Single** are also turning our to be running decisions as well. Now I have a little better understanding as to why people draft so much power...
Seems to me that the right conclusion is the contrary: the online game allows speed to be an important weapon, more important than by the advanced rules that govern many face-to-face leagues.
Read that line again from Milleram:
a 1 infielder that is responsible for holding the runner becomes a 4 in terms of Singles allowed, but a 2 in terms of Double plays turned off the x-chart.
To have both a 1b-1 and a ss-1 losing almost 50% of gbA and allows 30% more hits....it's a huge decrease for the defense, maybe not as impactful as losing a gbA+ chance at 7, but not far behind.
