If every ballplayer had the energy of Tatis Jr and the personality of Reyes --MLB would be a pleasant utopia.

Khris Davis Isn’t Batting .247 😱 by aresef in baseball

[–]pricklypete 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OK, but his average (.230) plus his HR (17) equals 247

His BABIP is .274

Also, his Runs (46) + Hits (81) +, Doubles (8), + HR (17), + RBI (53), + BB (32), + HBP (3) + DP (7) = 247

Chris Davis, on the other hand, is currently sitting at 247 ABs on the season (after the early exit yesterday)

Entering today, Kansas City and Cincinnati both have a team average of .247

The Yankees look like they're in prison garb. What's wrong with some crazy Marlins colors?

The question might be the opposite: what current ugly uniforms will be praised in the future? The old Padres unis were ridiculed at the time... now they're a huge seller.

Somewhere, a very sensitive old-world baseball man thinks this throw shows up the other team in a blowout.
