In Response To: 44 for Blue (John O'Hagan)

Keeping the mid makes White's escape more difficult. It's a close choice between 13/5 8/4(2) or 13/1 5/1. Your hitting chances on the next sequence for these two plays are about 15%/20%. Your racing chances are better with the former play if you don't hit because making the ace leaves you with 2 extra outfield crossovers. The improved racing chances after 13/5 8/4(2) are enough to more than make up for the reduced hitting chances.
