36 At Bats is QUITE the sample set I would say!Braves hitting coach Terry Pendleton has spoken with Francoeur about curbing his aggressiveness -- just a touch -- depending on the situation. But when he tried to do that and opened the season 2-for-36, the experiment was scrapped.
10 of those 16 games were against The Florida Marlins and Washington Nationals, 2 of the worst teams in baseball.Francoeur went back to hacking at the first good pitch he saw, and his numbers started to climb. A recent 16-game hitting streak shot his average up 84 points to .269, and he entered the week in the N.L.'s top five in RBIs.
Hobbes said:And you fall for the bait. I've been sabermetric for years now, haven't looked at ERA since. What's Frenchy's BABIP, do you even know? Do you even know what BABIP means? Point is, you're not the ground breaker you think you are. Frenchy's lack of plate discipline has been a point of concern since high school, and he hasn't resolved it yet. But you're no great shakes with your ANALYSIS, and your obsessive posting just makes you look obsessesed. Me-thinks it's tied into some jealousy of Choptalk, who has a bad habit of starting threads about Braves players. Still, it's old news to the informed baseball community.
