Instead of #BeerRun, how about my favorite #Tankathon #TankWin #TankLoss?

My personal preference is BeerRun :cheers

Not much ring, but much more logical.

The line up might actually produce more runs later in the season with the young guys + Abreu if the Sox keep him around for Moncada's sake. Ideally the Sox could move Q, Shields and Gonzalez but then who the hell starts ? The Rodon situation doesn't feel right, like it's a precursor to a larger injury.

 

Sox might want to sign Peavy or Fister or Edwin Jackson or check into the remaining free agent starters. I think they need another guy to eat innings when Covey , Shields and Gonzalez all bomb. They will wreck their bullpen arms.

Called it . Pelfrey

I'm all for tanking/rebuild

 

But as I'm watching the games.. where is the young talent getting experience.....?

In the minor leagues. The major league team doesn't matter the next few seasons. That's why you'd have to have rocks in your head to pay full price for a ticket at any time. Stubhub box seats for 15 bucks is the way to go this season.

BABIP of .209, hitting .255/.488/.582, 22 walks, 8 strikeouts.

Serious question... from a somewhat stat n00b...

 

How does one have a batting average on balls in play below their batting average?

Gonna guess that stat doesn't include home runs, which he has 9 of so far. Now, why a stat would be useful by subtracting home runs is beyond me.

It doesn't count home runs, because it's a way to determine how lucky a player is getting on his balls in play being turned into outs, and home runs can't be turned into outs.

Because it's only considering balls in play, which seems to make sense to me.

 

I guess, but it also seems to count strikeouts, which aren't anymore 'in play' than home runs.

It doesn't count strikeouts, that's the whole point. It allows you see a player's batting average not tied to frequency of contact.

 

 

Hmm...

 

Seth Beer's current stats (that are relevant to this discussion) as listed on Clemson's site:

 

Overall stats: .265 BA, 113ab, 30 hits, 9 home runs, 18 strikeouts

Stats with homeruns taken out: .202 BA, 104ab, 21 hits

Stats with homeruns and strikeouts taken out: .244 BA, 86ab, 21 hits

 

The numbers with hr's taken out, but not strikeouts is the closest one to the .209 listed earlier in the thread. That was based off a slightly different point, because his average was .255 there, but is .265 right now. Maybe I'm having a brain fart and there's something else to discount from his totals that hasn't dawned on me.
