I understand the concept of BABIP . What I don't understand is why when someone does so well with a high BABIP and the resulting high batting average it's flukey and a negative while the person with the low BABIP and resulting bad batting average is unlucky. Well I do get it but it's turning a positive into a negative and a negative into a positive, I'll just take the positive results if you all don't mind. The rest of you can use BABIP to predict regression and all that . I'll just take the better "luck" every time.

What's to follow he's hasn't had all that many Ab's this season and you said he sucked and I agree for 8 games and yes no walks and that;s bad but he's been making up for lost time really well and yes he's hot now just as he was cold earlier and doesn't really have much of a problem with launch angle lately . So we're both dealing with small samples but add them up and only the lack of walks is bad.

You really hate Avi that much after a 2 HR game and 6 in the last 10 days ? I guess a walk or 2 and less HR's doubles and triples would make you happy .

It was actually just an 8 game stretch before he went on the DL where he went 2 for 32 so if you want to count that small sample I suppose you can.

Nothing but sinkers and sliders to Avi there according to Game Day

Must see AB's here with Avi then maybe Palka

Pretty good game Sx never have had a lead but fought back a few times. Sure would hate to see a walk off loss here.

OMGFG AVI !

Just knew Yoan was going to get a 3-2 curve and he missed it of course.

Way to go Leury !

Wild pitch offense anyone ?

Let's go Rondon don't implode.

WOo we get to see Rondon.

And then lose every playoff game. See I'm trying to fit in here.

Cmon Chuck

Sox could go 162 and 0 and there will always be errors and bad pitches and unreliable relievers and hitters in slumps to scorch.

Sox getting right back in it.

Ha If all was well what would you guys talk about ?

Back to back and Palkas 2nd of the game. ANybody paying attention in this thread ?

Avi the HR Machine !

109 exit velo and 448 ft cheapie

Moncada just passed Nellie Fox on the all time strikeout list with close to 8000 fewer at bats. Different eras I know but still amazing.

Ricky tanked this one like a pro. I just hope he can stop when is is asked to manage a more talented team. Once a Tank Commander always a Tank Commander .

Never said they were overworked . Preventing them from being overworked+ Tank Commander + paid to lose which is why he won't get fired. No reason to get worked up about it. It's all according to the master plan.

Well this game should be all tied up soon.
