    Thought the math worked. Ok - career .306 hitter (915 hits in 2995 AB). Still a far cry from .337.

    This is... I'm not trying to pick on you here - but wow. Five consecutive, FULL seasons averaging a .975 OPS and you somehow looked at .924 and thought, "Yep, looks right!" On a page in which they add this stuff up for you, no less........

    If you understand what I was getting at then what's the point of this post. You focused on the least important part of my post

    I didn't even respond to your post. I was helping someone else see that his numbers were not quite right. As it turns out, his way of figuring out career numbers was off, so hopefully he learned something new and got something out of it.

    All that they're saying is 6 to 8 weeks still. And that he'll immediately begin his rehab once swelling goes down. They're hoping he's on a rehab assignment by early to mid-September.

    Trout now has 2 HRs in 2 days and looks like the same ol' Trout again, so he didn't seem to have much problem getting back in the groove of things.

    I've probably been picked on by better folks than you, so I'll live. As I mentioned previously, I added the numbers up and divided, thinking the math would still work. When you throw a .6XX into a bunch of .9XX numbers, the average gets skewed. I understand baseball reference calculates the numbers... I was attempting to remove his current season from the mix. It was bad math.

    I wouldn't necessarily blame the math.... but I'm glad everybody here got a lesson on how to calculate these averages correctly.

    Does anyone know what specific ligament was actually torn? His UCL maybe? "Thumb ligament" is pretty vague.

    If he slides head-first again for the rest of his career in Houston, Altuve should whoop his a**.

    That photo is against hospital policy. No photos in hospitals. Bad Team Correa. But I am glad to see they are treating him no different than the average patient. That bed and bay look just as uncomfortable as it would be for everyone except Al Capone.
