Then, They Played the Second Half

Damn. Got home from dinner and checked the box score. 107-87 loss to Orlando. KG ended up with 29 points, 11 boards, 4 assists.

When I left, it was 70-67. The Wolves were outscored 37-20 the rest of the way. Crap.

KG and Wally combined for 53 of the 87 points. They shot a collective 20-33. The rest of the team was 12-37. The Wolves were destroyed on the boards. They had an ORP of 16.7% and allowed an oORP of 38.7% (ouch) for a DORP of -22.0%. Disgusting. Orlando is a pretty good rebounding team (season DORP of 2.6%), but that doesn't excuse the Wolves' performance.

Not good.

Stats guy, I have a question. I Silva because he keeps the ball on the ground even if he gives up alot of hits.

Here is the question.

If every batter put the ball in play on the ground, how many runs is this likely to produce? Clearly we will have double play chances and force outs galore. Can you help me from a statistical point of view please.
