I think if you’re going to be safe in 82.6% of your attempts, there’s not much question that you’re helping your team overall.

It will be interesting to see how that develops as the Phillies get older. I do think not getting guys thrown out on the bases has been one of the strengths of Manuel as a manager while he’s been with the Phillies.

something like that…but there is something to be said for that of course, that is the extreme
