Exactly. That intuition certainly battles against the prevailing math. I think James basically makes the point that outs are worth x and moving a runner from first to second etc is worth y, and that it's across the board not worth it. But what about when the out supposedly worth 'x' is the pitcher? His out is worth a lot less, right? What about the 9th inning? I'm not convinced.
