2nd_city_saint787 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) It's not annoying, it's just the law of averages. Over the course of 2000 some plate appearances, no hitters are going to have half of their balls in play turn into hits. Many would be extremely lucky to have 35% of those fall. It's just not plausible to have half of them turn into hits. Flowers isn't going to have a .567 BABIP for the rest of the year. What he's doing now just isn't sustainable. There's nothing annoying about it, it's just reality. It's annoying in the context of the way it's being presented. It's as if we shouldn't care that our guy just got on base because advanced stats says it's not gonna last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) Even if it's around .350, he might be a .250 hitter, which I'd be fine with. But you have to realize that luck is not a skill. The chances of Flowers replicating his high BABIP in following years is pretty unlikely. What would be really nice for Flowers is to see a few more balls banging off the fences/leaving the park right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to realize that luck is not a skill. The chances of Flowers replicating his high BABIP in following years is pretty unlikely. I agree with that. He is still fanning a lot and not walking at all, but we might as well take whatever we can get out of him. If it's jam shot loopers to RF at a .360 clip, that is far better than what the Sox have ever gotten out of him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I look at it objectively, I still don't think very highly of him, even when he's almost hitting .400 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkfan Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Tyler has never had a hot streak like this. So that means that he has created a huge progression, which is something to celebrate. Hopefully the regression has a higher support level going forward due to this new growth, maybe even a head and shoulders bottom if you will. We used to just say stay hot flowers.
