"** It appears that batters have a 19% greater chance of getting a base hit than in the major leagues. So, to see your MLB batting average equivalent, subtract .2 from your batting average (so .568 becomes .369)"
You know, i started toing that a few weeks after we started keeping stats. My ratonal was that only a few players can hold onto a .600 average for a short amount of time in our group. I drew that to a .400 average in the MLB.
I feel smart, but no more math savvy. Hats off to Scott for doin the math.

I think the best way to find your MLB equivalent stats is with a ratio as opposed to a straght subtraction. I think 2/3 of your opb average would give you your mlb equivalent...

OBP = Oakland... Park... Baseball...

rain rain go away, come again another day.

Yeah!!!!!
That will suck if the final game of S2 is washed away.
That will suck if we have to actually take 2 entire weeks off from baseball, considering the 12/25 Xmas off-day.
The fields drain surprisingly well, check the website

Well I can't come to the New Years Day game. Yep, the wife said no. Call me pussy-whipped if you like, but I'm sure the other married guys understand...
Seriously though I think turnout for that game will be low anyway, quite probably too low to play.

Scott and I had a big discussion about how to relate your OPB average to an MLB average a while back. My intention was to figure it out so I could relate it to MVP Baseball. If you check the off-topic forum, you'll see a reference to it. However, upon further discussion, the final conclusion was that if you want to see your true MLB average, just multiply your OPB average by zero.

While I agree that statment agrees in my case, even that damn country singer got one hit in spring training. Baseball is the kind of sport where a MLB player would at some point get a OPB out, and some OPB players copuld at a point get a hit..... hey, i'd take a 1 for 284 in the MLB!
It's just a funny sport like that
...but i agree with the sense of the comment.
