Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

A Very Ignorant, Easy-To-Answer Question

I probably could have looked this up on the internet but I'm too lazy. I'm supposed to know something about baseball, and I'm surprised I don't know the answer to this already buuut...

When the bases are loaded, and you draw a walk and it scores a runner, is it an RBI? Because technically you didn't hit anything. And does that factor into your batting average? 

 

Stupid question, I know.

It does count as an RBI

as far as batting average, it doesn’t affect it because it’s a walk.

but it does, of course, factor into your On Base Percentage

Both of you comment

what does that mean?

i am confused. what do you want to do to J-Lo? solve the elusive mysteries of life for her in a straightforward manner as if you were google?

by b_duardo on Sep 23, 2009 10:28 AM EDT up reply actions  

oh wait. i guess i'll take a stab...

so you are saying that if you lowered your standards you would get with J-Lo? still very confusing. I thought you were straight. and shit, you have pretty high standards.

Julian Tavarez on why he signed with the Nationals:

“When you go to a club until 4 a.m., a 600-pounder looks like J-Lo. And to me this is Jennifer Lopez right here. Its 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. All the girls look hot. So, the Nationals are Jennifer Lopez to me.”

No troubles

Another good place to post a question like that would be in our open threads that post every day (“Bird Droppings”).
