I don't think fielder's choices count for OBP since you're making an out..

Well it should, because you are "on base". Does reaching on an error improve your OBP? Because technically it should as well.

No. Fielder choices and reaching on error do not count for OBP.

They dont count as in 0-0 or 0-1? Either way, that's dumb. Why can't OBP just be black and white. You reached base safely, or you didn't.

OBP is pretty simple, honestly.

Supposedly, Orlando Cabrera called the pressbox twice at The Cell the other day angry that he was charged with an error.

:rotfl: :rotfl:

He is pretty overrated defensively. He makes a lot of "smart" heads up plays, but he misses a lot of balls to his left up the middle. He needs to shade more towards 2B to compensate.

Can pitchers have a noticeable impact on their BABIP (batting average on balls in play)?

For those with an interest in statistics, a pitcher’s BABIP, or the percentage of balls in play (not including home runs) that result in hits, are largely out of a pitcher’s control when averaged over the course of several years. A favorable batted-ball mix (the ratio of line drives/fly balls/ground balls/popups) can help lower a pitcher’s BABIP over the course of a season, but in general, it will migrate towards .300 over time. As pitchers, we can only control our strikeouts, walks, home runs allowed and groundball/flyball ratios (the latter based on adjusting our pitches and arm angles).

A good way to get a rough idea of what a pitcher is doing to improve his long-term sustainable ERA, independent of luck, is to look up his FIP, or Fielding Independent Pitching, on a site such as www.fangraphs.com. For example, Paul Splittorff’s career FIP was 3.72, and his career ERA ended up at 3.81, while Bret Saberhagen’s career FIP was 3.26, and his career ERA ended up at 3.34.

...The reason that a pitcher’s ERA does not always match his FIP is that the timing of his hits can vary from year to year. The luck of those hits/homers are much more detrimental with runners on base, which is recorded as percentage of runners left on base, or LOB%. A common LOB% percentage is in the 70-80% range, with anything above that range representing good luck and below that bad luck.

Therefore, you can now see how your favorite pitchers, such as Zack Greinke, are improving from year-to-year. Zack is currently posting a career-best 3.56 FIP, and has the 2.88 ERA to match because of some great pitching with runners on base and an increased ground-ball rate, which has resulted in less home runs allowed.

range factor and zone rating are subjective stats


How exactly are RF and ZR subjective? RF is simply an equation. As for ZR, the field is divided into zones, and the fielders are responsible for every ball in their zones. It's the same for every fielder in the majors. I'm pretty sure it's done by computer, too, like the plus/minus system.

I don't break character until after the DVD commentary

Gary Matthews Jr. is 0 for 39 on two-strike curveballs and 1 for 52 on two-strike sliders. He strikes out 62.6% of the time that he's thrown a two-strike breaking ball. He hits .318 (20-61) on curves and sliders before two strikes.

That might be the most useless stat ever.
