I do agree, as i stated in my earlier post, that it is impossible to quantify the amount of effect.

A link to a small study on the subject:

Ok baseball genuises, why exactly would Shields have been pitching if they had the lead? All this crap that you spew is theory. The facts remain the failure of execution of a fundemental task were the reason the play didnt work. Why is it so hard for you two baseball gurus to understand? All the possibilities that you assume are just that, assumptions. The FACT is that the play wasnt properly executed which is what led to them not scoring, NOT LOSING!!! In baseball you cant even assume the double play, let alone the next inning. Exactly how many non playoff games do you watch? Did you watch the previous game? Did the Angels pitchers throw differently when the blew a three run lead by misplaying a flyball?
