BABIP Numbers should be correct now.

Are those BABIP numbers right? I thought the rule of thumb was that the average BABIP was always around .300.

Uh, no, they are way off. It looks like I made a math error in crunching those numbers. Kind of forgot to do (Hits-HR)/(Outs-Strikeouts + Hits in Play). I left the HIts in play off the denominator

Yeah, it looks like the 2011 AL babip was .293, not .412 -

It’s the result of a proliferation of Astros.

…and expansion. The Astros have a triple A roster

Not even that in some cases. Altuve was in A ball this time last year. Rebuilding is a bitch of a process.

Your BABIP numbers are way off. The average is usually around .300. It was .294 last year

Matt Cain also had the beneficiary of a park where just about anything hit to right center is going to die for an out unless it’s a moonshot.

You need a Lincecum ‘fastball’ and a very large man to reach right center.

Schaefer’s foul down the first base line was a hit. Umpire missed the call. But Cain was still lights out. Only one strikeout call, the one against Altuve in the 5th (I think) was a bad call. Even as an Astros fan, I can’t really complain too much about this. We hit the ball well a few times and Cain got lucky. The other times he utterly dominated. It was good baseball to watch.

I assumed that meant total at the yard, could have misread

This is what it meant, because it said that they had to retrieve the balls hit into the stands.
