aka the (previously) unwritten laws of successful baseball; by bill james
"1) Thou Shalt not Bunt.
2) Thou Shalt Have no Low On Base Percentages Before the Cleanup Hitter
3) Honor the three-run homer and the leadoff walk.
4) Thou shalt not steal at anything less than a 70% success rate.
5) Thou shalt make no idol of the light-hitting middle infielder.
6) Thou shalt not count to the credit of the pitcher that which is done by his fielders or by his hitters, nor charge him with their failings.
7) Thou shalt not abuse thy starting pitchers.
8) Thou shalt make no effort to ride the hot hand, for the hot hand is but a shape in the wind.
9) Place thy faith not in veterans, when youth be available to ye.
10) Thou shalt not pass freely thy opponent’s number eight hitter, nor his cleanup hitter, nor his left-handed pinch hitter, nor any hitter that is thy opponent’s."

one more important commandment of my own creation: 11) thou shalt not frequently misplay line drives, make errors, or fail to run out routine fly balls when playing center field

6) wins and losses are stupid stats for pitchers 8) "hot hand fallacy": assumption that if a player does something well on one occassion, they will frequently do it well in the future 10) don't give up walks
