A few years ago, someone on this site posted a detailed study on when to attempt a hit and run (and when not to).
I would like to see that again or at least a discussion such as:
Good time to use a hit and run is when the pitcher is needing to throw a strike, your batter is in a slump, and you want to force him to swing.
When not to is if your batter is not a contact hitter. Our only real contact hitters this year were Sandlin, Dawson, and Slater. Lynch rarely struck out, so he would also be considered a contact hitter.
