Does Chipper have legit shot at .400?
I think he does, after 20 games it was to early, after 40 it is still to early we are now 50 games deep on the season and only 30 games away from the allstar break and he is showing no signs of slumping. I think he will be right around the .415 mark for the allstar game and I believe he has a legitamet shot at it. What does everyone think?
being a Braves fan, i hope he gets it. It just seems every time a player hovers around that .400 mark, they just come up short by the end of the year.
no shot
none
he wont hit 350
I know you are absolutely right. As to RyanXL's dumb comment beneath you. Ryan if you would like to make side bet I will give you 2to 1 odds on any amount of money that you would like to put on the wager that he doesn't hit .350.Originally Posted by louisvillekid

this has happened for my whole life
every year they talk about it
what is chippers career average? do you think he is going to hit 50-100 pts above his average?
do you even watch baseball?
That I do, apparently you don't do you remember a guy named Barry Bonds who never really hit more then 40 homeruns in his life then he hit more then 70, I know it was steroid assisted but its called a good year people have them sometimes. Don't know if you remember a guy named Paul Molitor but he was .306 lifetime his worst here was like .216 and his best was .353. Wow look at the difference between his high his low and his average. His average is just that an average it doesn't mean that he can not out perform it one year and not for another. If you are so sure that Chipper wont hit .350 for the year, I told you I am willing to give you 2 to 1 odds. Risk 1000 against my 2000. That is great deal for you. I know a site where we can create our own bet just let me know.
let me think about that
i dont know you from adam so hwo do i know you will pay
what do you think chippers final avg will be
I know you don't know me thats why I said I have site that will book the bet for us. I used to work for a fantasy sports company that is fantasy sports except its on daily basis not a seasonal. So its set up like pokerroom there are 10 seats 5 seats or however many for that contest you go sit down. Draft a team for that night then whos ever team does best collects the pot. Anyway I'm still good friends with everyone overthere and they set up private contest for me sometimes. Just let me know, I don't know what his final average will be, in my heart and the conspiracy theorist in me says it will be .403 because I would love to see him do it and with the whole steroid scandal if a guy who wasn't on steriods bats .400 it will be good for the game. My brain says he will fall short though because pitchers will pitch around him in the 2nd half of the year so I think he will bat around .367
well give me 24 hrs to think about it
i will bet 10000000 that he wont hit 400. i will think on that other one. maybe i spoke to soon, maybe he will hit 350. but aint no shot a 38 yr old guy hits 400
there is a lot of hitters that come to mind who came close and also as strictlywinners pointed out about players having career years and bad years. remember Maris, the guy who broke the Babe's single season HR record, dude never hit over 40 in a year but in 61' he hit 61, yes pitchers had to throw to him, cause the Yanks were loaded, they couldn't pitch around him and look for the next guy.
some guys i remember having a shot at .400 then coming up short
Puckett .356 in 88'
Gwynn .394 in 94' and .370 in 87'
Helton .372 in 00'
and Boggs a career .328 hitter had .366 in 88', .363 in 87', and .361 in 83', but also had a bad year in 92' at .259
i didn't know Chipper was 38, i'm 35 and born in 73', Chipper was born in 72' i thought.
one year homer abberations happen a lot mopre than 1 year average abberations i think
chipper is a career 309 hitter
he WILL NOT HIT 400
there is NO chance
its ****ing may!
Oh really I can name a bunch more that had shot on top of louiville. Do you remember a guy by the name of John Olerud, he came close twice and his career average was barely over .300.
yes, and he wasnt 37 or whatever
he was also , if i recall, who was suppsoed to be a 350 hitter
This.
NO chace to hit 400
it will not happen
you guys are smokin good shit
i'm not saying he will hit .400, i just hope he does cause i'm a Braves fan, but i think he can hit .350 for sure, baring any injury.
i am a braves fan too
i hope they make the loffs after the phils
i love bobby cox
Well you said he won't hit .350 that was the bet I was willing to make. And you are right but I'm not just smokin' shit I'm smokin that good shit.
well let me think
maybe i was wrong
i get lots of shit wrong my man
everyday
and i get lots of shit right
Ok start I would restart this thread considering Chipper is only getting better, he is now batting .420 would anybody like to change there mind on his chances.
I don't think he's going to do it. I see him ending at somewhere around .360 at best. Of coarse he has a shot, but he will eventually go into a big slump that will kill his average.
I'm not going to say there is no chance, but I don't see it happening.
not a prayer in the world
agree with 355/360 range , maybe 350 at the all star break , which is great !

dude will hit 365 MAX
If I recall, Teddy ballgame was the last to hit over .400. And please correct me if I am wrong, but when he hit that mark, walks were totaled into batting average, not into on base percentage. There lies Chippers downfall. I say .340, which is a hell of a year, considering he hacks from both sides. The dog days of summer will get to him.
