isn’t there a stat somewhere that shows runs produced vs runs cost a team? i’m too lazy to look but i know baseball prospectus keeps track of that. i’d be curious to see where he ranks, and whether his offense is enough to alleviate his defensive woes.

but you are absolutely right about his fielding woes preventing him from extended stays in the show.

Losing pitcher, Cat Osterman, the one who had the no-hitter in her first appearance this Olympics. But it’s funny how Finch is still the only one shown on thumbnails and descriptions of any mention of the team. Interesting pipe-dream theory thrown around already is that the US tanked it, so that women’s softball might allowed to stick around in future Olympic games, because up until this game, they apparently did win a million straight games with like a hundred no-hitters and like 50 perfectos.
