Please win one at home.

According to Bowman, the average on balls with at least 100 mph exit velocity is .611

Acuna 0-6 this series on those velocities

 

[The Tariff King]

Soroka the Stopper.

So, basically, #reasontobelieve Acuña’s off the schneid soon?

I thought the consensus was exit velocity had no bearing on BABIP

 

[jpx7]

Soroka the Stopper.

You getting drunk at the park yet?

Reason to believe he was never on the Schneid.

The difference in luck between us and the Giants this series has been insane.

Should I explain? Naw.

Here’s a hint: BABIP does not count HRs, and many balls hit that hard result in HRs.

LOL, the Giants have destroyed the Braves for 2 games. We are chalking it up to luck now that the Braves are losing?

Many do, many don't... acuna has hit 6 this weekend with none being a hr.

Who said anything about putting the losers down to luck? The Giants have been insanely lucky getting balls falling in while we've been hitting bullets at guys. Not saying we win with neutral luck, just pointing out a fact.

Here's break down of top 40 hit balls this year...

15 HRs
15 hits
10 outs (1 error)

So on the 25 balls in ball, the BABIP is .600 (15/25). Who knows what that avg does over top 100... don't feel like continuing

 

[Enscheff]

Rather than looking at a statistically insignificant sample of 25 balls in play, I’d suggest reading about all the data.

Either way, I wouldn’t worry about Acuna.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

LOL grumpy ass Joe already complaining about the music volume.

 

[Enscheff]

You can definitely see the difference in his fastballs.
