BP Fantasy Baseball (2008-2024, Current Champion = MD Buckeye again)

Ok, it's been a long day and maybe I'm just incredibly confused but how is it possible to have a lower OBP than BA?

It’s not possible to have an OBP lower than BA.

It looks like Rendon and a screw up by yahoo. Rendon is credited as 1/1 but an OBP of .500 (which is correct) because he has a sac fly which doesn’t seem to be figured in for some reason for his ABs.

First inning he hit a sac fly.

so I'm getting screwed in fantasy baseball

nothing to see here folks, move along


EDIT

I looked it up, they are right

a sac fly (or bunt) is not counted as an AB but it is a plate appearance and therefore counted against you in OBP

OBP being how many times you reach safely/PA

learn something new everyday

(I still get fucked a lot in fantasy baseball)

You actually weren’t getting screwed because your BA was better than it should have been (until I just read the post above.)

Now I’m confused. Since when is a sac fly NOT an AB? So you can fly out, and because a guy is on third, it doesn’t affect your BA?

I swear sac flies used to count as ABs.

The rule for Sac fly = no AB has been in place since 1954 apparently.
