"Ted Lilly allowed the most stolen base attempts in 2011, with baserunners swiping 35 bags in 37 chances off of the Los Angeles Dodgers southpaw. The remaining top-5: John Lackey (33-for-36), Josh Beckett (31-for-35), Felix Hernandez (31-for-39) and Tommy Hanson (30-for-33)."Southpaws are expected to control the running game, and Lilly gave up more stolen bases than anyone, even righties.

| Ted Lilly focuses on getting the batter out, and the numbers show it. |
As his 35 of 37 record show, Ted Lilly was particularly terrible at controlling the running game by having only two runners thrown out. Of the Top 5 from Buster's column, at least Felix Hernandez got eight base runners thrown out.
Most stolen bases allowed by LHP:
| Rk | Tm | SB ▾ | CS | CS% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ted Lilly* | LAD | 35 | 2 | 5% |
| 15 | C.J. Wilson* | TEX | 24 | 7 | 23% |
| 17 | Cole Hamels* | PHI | 23 | 6 | 21% |
| 23 | David Price* | TBR | 20 | 5 | 20% |
| 24 | Wandy Rodriguez* | HOU | 20 | 3 | 13% |
| 25 | Gio Gonzalez* | OAK | 19 | 4 | 17% |
| 27 | Jeff Francis* | KCR | 18 | 5 | 22% |
| 30 | Ricky Romero* | TOR | 18 | 7 | 28% |
| 31 | Jason Vargas* | SEA | 18 | 5 | 22% |
| 32 | Randy Wolf* | MIL | 18 | 1 | 5% |
Is there a relatively easy way to weigh these numbers against their catcher's stolen base against %? Any math people care to chime in?
