You hope our starting SS does bad so you are right? Don't think .299 is bad, do you? It's worse than .300. But it's not bad, and he said I was hoping he'd do bad. he has to do poorly in order to get down that low Would he? He's at .302... Yes, he'd have to go 0 for the next 6-7 abs and then maintain the pace, which isn't good. But I'd just like to say there shouldn't be any discussion about whether or .299 or .303 batting average is good or bad.
