Bronson Arroyo is pitching but I guess I see what you're saying?

Has it been all off-speed so far?

Damn. He hit it hard.

The ball just doesnt drop for us.

Matugi · « **Reply #116:** April 25, 2013, 07:23:56 PM »

At he made contact instead of looking at strike 3. Progress.

Batting average on balls in play. It wouldn't actually be negative. Most people believe it at least in part is an indicator of a hitter's luck, though it's influenced by things like line drive/flyout/groundball rate. A high BABIP would indicate bloop hits and lucky hits falling. A low one could indicate making contact but hitting it at people.

A high BABIP inflates your average. So you look at a guy like LaRoche, his career BABIP is around .300(average) but right now it's .212.

Pretty dumb of the Reds to be swinging away on Gio. Why would you do that against a guy not known for his control? You know the Cardinals wouldn't be.
