Jays a well deserved day off today, btw.

The goal is clear: Division Title. Don't want to go and lose some flukey 1 game playoff to the fucking Rangers. Let that be a Yankee problem. Division Title, fellas.

Jays win the division by 4 games. Tron says so.
 
I'll tell you whose batting average is making me melancholy. Justin Smoak. Dude is hitting something like .215. Under .300 on base

For a 1st baseman. Good glove and everything but :facepalm:

I was thinking for awhile, he must be due to break out with a flurry of hits and gets things up to par but that is pretty close to his career numbers.

Bud, that's not getting 'er done.

BUD!
 
While Justin Smoak is really a bad baseball player (career .693 OPS at his position is terrible and he's in the top 5 worst 1B in all of baseball) he has been the 2nd "unluckiest" hitter in the Jays starting lineup so far this season.

I took a look and here's what I found:


Jays lineup and their respective BABIP (Batting Average Of Balls In Play)

I'll post from luckiest to unluckiest:


Revere .339 BABIP
Tulo .335
Donaldson .321
Pillar .289
EE .265
Martin .264
Smoak .240

And the Jays hitter having the "unluckiest" season so far, Joey Bats @ .229 (league average is about .300).


While BABIP is not entirely based on luck, luck is one of three main factors that play into BABIP.
