I would take an ITPHR over a triple only if it's hit by a very fast runner and there are no miscues defensively. It seems like the majority of them come off of a misplay, like a dive-and-miss in the outfield. For instance, Prince Fielder's ITPHR a few years ago. In that situation, I'd prefer a clean triple. Part of the excitement of a triple is seeing if the defense can retrieve the ball and get it back in perfectly- it's mostly the botched balls that end up as ITPHRs. It's true, though, I should have mentioned that.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12643','Justin Murphy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12643','Justin Murphy','I think of an ITPHR as an extended triple, either by a very fast runner or with a mistake in the field.
