Oh dear! The Sox did look impressive this morning. It would be nice to get back to Fenway before the series ends.

Another quick question...

Batting average of .377, does this mean the batter is hitting .377 of all the balls pitched to him? So in effect he's hitting a little over a third of the pitchs.....

No. It means the batter has made a safe hit 377 times out of a 1000 times he has come up to bat. However, if the batter walks, is hit by a pitched ball, or makes a sacrifice hit (where he gets out, but has deliberately hit to advance a baserunner), that is not counted as a time at bat.

There may be other occasions where a time at bat is not recorded (eg catchers interference) - any experts out there?
