Demp not going anywhere

Baseball-reference has him at 15%. His BABIP there is listed at .315 though. Fangraphs has him at 14.3% this year and 19.6% last year.

Or did you mean as a team?

Team, but regardless you answered the question.

Yea I saw the difference at fangraphs I wonder if they (baseball-reference) just hadn't updated with info from last night or something because fangraphs has the Cubs BABIP at .309.

Yeah ya never know. Regardless they could scale "fliners" differently. As I mean what a line drive is and what a FB is can be pretty arbitrary.

Regardless we can both agree I am sure that Cubs pitching gives up too many LD's.

Yea as a a whole their BABIP is in line with their LD%. I think both numbers will continue to fall as we get rid of the terrible pitchers and get guys in the right roles as we get healthier.
