I erred in limiting my statement to be inclusive only of Gomez affecting the pitcher in pinch running situations, when he might have done the same by reaching base on his own. Do you have any data on how many times he was on base in the 9th after recording a hit, walk or error, with a subsequent batter achieving a walk, hit, or error, arguably as a result of Gomez presence on base?

The Dodgers game he was driven in from 2B on a double, and the July 1st game…well, it ended like this:

Gomez Steals 2B; Gomez Scores/Adv on E2 (throw to 2B)/Adv on E8 (throw to 3B)/unER

He appeared as a PR in four other games, all Brewers losses.

His presence on 1st base seems to rattle opposing pitchers.

I’ll take him back.

Hopefully he continues to get better this season also.
