PG;
Depends on the pitcher, what field you are playing in (Mile High is good for the long ball), where the pitcher is in his throw history, etc.
I know what you are getting at, and there is truth to it. I just fear that we may be looking for a single in section six with we should be looking for extra bases. I want the singles to occur in LOA's leading up to section six with at least a standing double if not a triple if we are looking for a quick deal.
Anyone would take the home run! Duh! It may be possible, and as you have stated there are many factors that will result in the batting coaches instructions when it is our turn at the plate. I just do not want to see us selling anything short looking for a sure thing. We always have three outs in an inning. You generally use the first and or second out for the long ball. The third out is when you play hit and run.
