Am I a retard or is it unpossible to have a .333 avg and a .316 OBP?

Sacrifices will count as a PA but not as an AB.

Sacrifices don't affect average but they lower OBP.

Possible....Betancourt has a lower OBP than BA by a couple of points.

That's weird.

59 pitches for Colon through 4.

Bottom of the 4th. Time to destroy this guy.

Ah, good call. That makes sense. I imagine that fielders choice's also increase OBP but lower batting averages?

Not bad for a morbidly obese pitcher.

Considering he is considered a fastball pitcher with this mediocre stuff, the sox should crush him.

That's my line of thinking, historically this is the sort of pitcher we get to. It's the crafty soft tossers that kill us.

Fielder's choice counts as an out and doesn't help your OBP. You did nothing to earn your way on base so you get no credit for it.

Ah, the Owens special...weak grounder to 2nd base.

They are going to kill this guy. Sans Owens, Miller and Lillibridge.

Well, in that case HBP shouldn't count towards OBP either, because you did nothing to earn your way on base.

Ok Q, welcome back to the hit list.

You can cancel the post-game show.

Rocket single by CQ...2 on, 1 out. This is one of the few pitchers I wish we had Thome in the lineup to face.

Well, in that case HBP shouldn't count towards OBP either, because you did nothing to earn your way on base.

You may have done just as much as if you'd taken a walk.

I love Carlos' short swing.

It sure seems like Thome and Dye have made a ton of weak outs on the first pitch this season.

Ah, the Owens special...weak grounder to 2nd base.

 

Did he run real fast to first though. I mean was it a blur. OBP is for the narrow minded, its all about blinding speed on your outs.

 

 

 

f***ing hell JD.

Well, in that case HBP shouldn't count towards OBP either, because you did nothing to earn your way on base.

You also didn't get the opportunity to do so. It's the same as a walk, how can you earn your way on base if you don't get anything to hit?

I love Carlos' short swing.

 

It's funny, but he's not even close to being on his game yet. He hit a lot of homers a few weeks ago, but his swing was still a little off. He's such a pleasure to watch hit.

Hell yeah PK!! 2-0 Sox, good job by the fan of not touching the ball.

They are going to kill this guy. Sans Owens, Miller and Lillibridge.

I'm telling you, all signs point to us scoring many runs today, assuming our 8-9-1 don't f*** it up.

Damn, Anderson just missed that.
