Where is smoot to tell us about Acuna sustaining a .340 BABIP at the MLB level?

Anyone care to look at his current BABIP and report back?
Acuna's swing has really really gotten bad the last few weeks even before the slump started. Letting the top hand come off way too much even on foul balls. He usually was pretty good about driving through with both hands.

Acuna is doing his best but hitting lead off is a lot of pressure to put on a young player.

The great gausman vs bumgarner debate...
Gausman:
11 starts
55.0 ip
9.33 k9
3.76 bb9
5.56 era
3.66 fip
4.43 xfip
1.0 fWAR
.312 babip (.310 career)
Bumgarner:
12 starts
74.0 ip
9.00 k9
1.70 bb9
4.01 era
3.58 fip
3.71 xfip
1.2 fWAR
.312 babip (.285 career)
Maybe someone will give us enscheff's predictive stat... I've gotta work
Well... we are 56 games in and Nick Markakis has played in every single one.
The only hilarious part is how wrong you are....again.
Both guys pitched last night, and even after Gausman's dabacle:
Gausman xwOBA = .299 (#3 SP)
Bumgarner xwOBA = .325 (#4 SP)
Bumgarner is almost as lucky (-0.012 delta) as Gausman has been unlucky (+0.018 delta).
You also have no clue how to account for the advantage Bumgarner has pitching in that ball park, so you allow his overall numbers to influence your incorrect opinion of him.
It's OK though that you're clueless though because everyone with any authority over these decisions already knows everything I'm sharing, so they won't overpay for Bumgarner. There are deals that could make sense, especially if guys like Soroka and Fried are on an innings limit, but to consider Bumgarner a front line SP at this point is pure ignorance of MLB player valuation.
