Predict Chipper's final 2008 average (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

(He's hitting .419 as I type this on June 11.)

.368 is my guess.

 

[The Gator]

.398 after going 4/4 in the final game.

 

[MrPhoenix]

.400012

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Out of his 94 hits only one has been an infield single.

He's killing it.

Atlanta will probably be out of the playoff race by August, whereas Florida, NY and Philadelphia will be fighting hard, so he will face intense teams.

.378

 

[eagles2007]

my first reaction a week or two ago was no way he gets .400.

he seems to be a hit machine, though.

i'll say .366.

 

[s_ezy]

he hits .400, but with 501 at bats, not enough to qualify for the record

 

[shadyridr]

he hits .400, but with 501 at bats, not enough to qualify for the record

 

[Darth Cheney]

I think it will be tough for him to get .400. The pressure the media will bring on every at bat will get to be too much and he'll eventually hit a slump for a period of time. He needs to get a few more walks than his last 5 year average though.

he hits .400, but with 501 at bats, not enough to qualify for the record

How many does he need to qualify?

 

[shadyridr]

How many does he need to qualify?

Techinically he needs 502 Plate Appearances to qualify. The formula is 3.1 PA's per team game.

 

[Wrigley]

.336

he's just not this good

Chipper is currently hitting .419. He is averaging 3.36 at-bats per every Braves game. If he keeps up that pace, here is what he would have to hit to end up at certain levels:

If he hits .248 the rest of the way he will end up at .318.

If he hits .264 the rest of the way he will end up at .327.

If he hits .280 the rest of the way he will end up at .336.

If he hits .295 the rest of the way he will end up at .346.

If he hits .311 the rest of the way he will end up at .355.

If he hits .326 the rest of the way he will end up at .364.

If he hits .342 the rest of the way he will end up at .373.

If he hits .357 the rest of the way he will end up at .382.

If he hits .373 the rest of the way he will end up at .392.

If he hits .388 the rest of the way he will end up at .400.

By the way, each of those plateaus is just an extra 5 hits. That is how much 5 hits can matter.

So the real question isnt where do you think he will end up, its what do you think he will hit the rest of the way.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

.351

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

.351

SO you think he'll hit .300 or less the rest of the way?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

.351

SO you think he'll hit .300 or less the rest of the way?

His career average with this year included is .310. So I think he'll hit just below his career average the rest of the way.

 

[shuke]

.354

 

[Angry Beavers]

.382 but won't have enough AB's to qualify for the batting title

 

[Hey-Zeus]

he hits .400, but with 501 at bats, not enough to qualify for the record

How many does he need to qualify?

Techinically he needs 502 Plate Appearances to qualify. The formula is 3.1 PA's per team game.

At least someone knows the rules.

 

[Jiggyonthehut]

.617

 

[PIK95]

.412

 

[curta269]

I'm going with .365, but it would be really cool to see him hit .400. I want someone to do it in my lifetime.

 

[Domination]

.300

He will fall off, he isn't that good.

 

[igbomb]

.300He will fall off, he isn't that good.

Now I'm no Chipper Jones fan, but he's hit over .300 nine times in his career, including .337 and .324 the last two years. You must be fishing.

 

[David Yudkin]

he hits .400, but with 501 at bats, not enough to qualify for the record

How many does he need to qualify?

Techinically he needs 502 Plate Appearances to qualify. The formula is 3.1 PA's per team game.

At least someone knows the rules.

And if you don't have enough plate appearances to qualify, you can take an 0-for-whatever to make up the difference.For example, if he was hitting .415 with 487 plate appearances (say 181 hits in 437 AB + 50 BB), he could add in 15 extra ABs to get to 502 PA. That would make his average 181/452 = .400

Demonstrating once again that I was born on Friday the 13th (true story)...

Since I started this thread:

- Whacks himself with a batted ball in the cage during batting practice.

- Average has dipped from .419 to .390 in ten days.

- Now has a right quad injury which will keep him out "at least a week."
