A few factoids to put this in some kind of perspective:
- The last time Francisco Cordero walked two guys in an inning was May 23rd in a blown save against the Angels. Last night was only the third time of his season.
-
Todd Helton has 26 career triples. That...surprised me.
- This year, with a runner on third and no outs, a team scores, on average, over 1.5 runs.
- With runners at the corners and one out, teams average 1.2 runs.
- With the bases loaded and two outs, teams average over .8 runs. Needless to say, I can't wait for the WPA graph on this one.
It's easy to come to conclusions about icewater in the veins and all that, though I keep reminding myself Coco got out of a jam that was (at least somewhat) of his own making. But aside from all the statistics, that was exciting. It might even nudge the Brewers playoff chances above five percent!
