You're well aware of the Indians' struggles with men on base this year. We all are. We all have grown to prefer bases empty ABs. Preferably with Jason Kipnis at the plate. But what you may not be aware of is: The 2015 Indians are EVEN WORSE when multiple runners are out there blocking the basepaths from new entrants.

So, there you have it.
How does that break down? Triple slashes:
Men on 1st and 2nd: 221/294/354 (251 BABiP)
Men on 1st and 3rd: 206/243/371 (209 BABiP)
Men on 2nd and 3rd: 321/417/593 ... OMG! They're suddenly all Mike Trout! Do more double steals!
Bases Loaded: [redacted, too ugly**]
** 128/225/154 (not a typo) (139 BABiP)
