    Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread

    His BABIP is almost .400 which is absurdly high. He's going to come back down. A BABIP of 0.400 is not sustainable.

        Last season Altuve led the AL at .338 over 640 AB's. He was 40 hits short of hitting .400.

        He's already 14 hits off the pace this year, and we're not in August yet.

          And before you respond, the highest BABIP since 2010 was .369 by Miguel Sano in 2015 and .359 by Mike Trout once and one other guy.

            I look at it this way: 250 hits is just under 10 hits per week. Every single week. Any kind of slump, and it's game over.

              Williams BABIP in '41 was .378, which Gwynn surpassed in '94 with .394.

              The biggest thing, besides the random drop in 60 plate appearances compared to the year before despite the same number of games played, was walks. His 24% BB% I can really only find being surpassed by Bonds with all the intentional walks. Gwynn was only at 10% and Altuve is currently at 9%.

                .400 is tough, but I think we are over estimating what it takes. Although a guy with 600 pa is going to struggle to get close.

                It only takes 502 plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, which is my standard for saying you hit .400 in a full season.

                That's 201 hits IF every pa was an at-bat. But it never is. Add in 50 walks and you only need 181 hits. Then you have the other random things that count as pa but not at bats. So you can shave off a few more hits.

                  Baseball has hemlines and someday the hemlines will be like the 1930s and whole teams will hit .300 and somebody (probably multiple somebodies) will hit .400, just like someday whole teams will hit .225 and somebody will throw 2 straight no hitters.

                    With starters only going 6 innings followed by bullpen specialists, 300 is difficult.

                      With rumors swirling in the small hours of Sunday morning that the Minnesota Twins would trade Jaime Garcia, the New York Yankees have reportedly reached an agreement to acquire the 31-year-old left-hander according to a report from Jon Heyman of FanRag.

                        Pretty good turn around for the Twins. Garcia was a rental for the rest of the season, and the Twins were able to get a Lefty reliever (Dietrich Enns) who has been strong in Triple A, and a solid Right-handed starter (Zack Littell) who has torn up the minor leagues this year (14-1, 1.87 ERA). Both could easily find themselves in the major leagues in the next couple seasons. With the Twins on the verge of dropping out of playoff contention, this was a really good deal for the club.

                          Adrian Beltre: 3,000 hits.

                          Albert Pujols is on the clock, 89 hits away.
