Back to 0.500

This week we stared our first game against the top team in the division with 8 players. It started bad an only got worse, as we got romped 21-2. Sorry Sophie and Don had decided to show up to our worst game of the season. We rounded slightly the next game but our bats were still subpar and we fell short 13-10.

See the stats. Note: I have corrected the formula to calculate OBP, it was RB/PA and is now (H+BB)/(AB+BB+SF).
And I have added a column for SLG, (1B+2*2B+3*3B+4*HR) / AB)

    Shouldn’t OBP be given as: (H+BB+SF)/AB

    Taking your given formula it looks like you can cancel out the “Base on Balls” (BB).
    I’m not sure what “Plate Appearances” means, but good luck with that. ;)

    Err, no since a Sacrific (SF) usually means you don’t reach base.

    Taking your given formula it looks like you can cancel out the “Base on Balls” (BB).

    You and calculus really don’t get along well, do you?

    Plate appearances, are just that, number of times to the plate. This is not a standard baseball statistic, but need it for completness since not all plate appearances count as an at bat.

    Stupid adding lets me not cancel stuff out. I am so SMRT.
    See what happens when you get a job.
