One day soon, I'm gonna sit down and go through every single game and figure out how many times Simmons has popped up. Has to be close to 200.

He has hit an infield fly 17.5 percent of the time which is roughly 1/6th of his at bats. Assuming he finishes with 600 at bats that's 100 infield flies. Its actually the same rate he hit them last year although he has nearly doubled his fly ball rate. He is tied for ML lead with Jose Bautista and right behind him is Ichiro.

Magic number at 6. If we play like we're supposed to against San Diego, and the Phillies are worth a damn against the Nats, we've got a shot to clinch this weekend.

The only chance of that is if the Mets win, not happening.

And down to 5 heading to this weekend.

At best, the Phillies win one, it would still be at 1 heading into DC either way hypothetically.

That's why I said if we play like we're supposed to (we should sweep), and the Phillies are useful. I think we'll wrap it up in DC or Chicago next weekend.

Actually, that's 17.5% of his fly balls that are infield fly balls. His fly ball rate is 37.8%, so his overall % in terms of ABs is 6.6%. So given 600 ABs, he'd hit about 39-40 pop ups.
 
I wonder what standard they use for an infield fly. Is it the actual infield or Sam Holbrook's idea of am infield fly. But it has to be more than 40 if they just go by popups caught ny infielders.

Nats pulling away from the worthless, pathetic Mets. So looks like the magic number will remain at 6.

Yea, thanks for nothing Mets. No clinching at home for us, but if we sweep at home we'll just need one in DC to clinch (so long as Philly wins at least one game vs Nats this weekend). Best case is magic number is no worse than two headed to D.C.

Its really just a formality at this point. We would have to go 5-11 and the nats go 16-0 to win the division.

I don't think anyone in their right mind could be concerned about blowing it this late with our lead. But I can understand concern with wanting to clinch either at home or in D.C. rather than in Chicago.
 
If we can't clinch at home, the next best thing would be to clinch in Washington in front of that team and their fans. You know, I'd almost prefer it.
