    Question that keeps me up at night

    How the heck do you pronounce "BABIP?"

    In my head, I always say it as "babe - ip"

    But everytime I hear someone say it on TV, they say it as "bab - ip"


    Please Chop Country, help me out!

    In my head, I "say" bee–eh–bee–eye–pee or batting-average on balls in-play when I read BABIP, but woah-buh when I read wOBA.

    Neither, however, keeps me up at night.

    They should have come up with something that could have been pronounced "be-bop."
