Big Game Hunter
Hunter Pence delivers again. He collects three hits and a walk last night in seven plate appearances, the last one a walk-off home run leading off the thirteenth inning to send the Phillies to defeat 5-4. Pence is now batting .345, and according to my calculations should be on the leader board. However, neither STATS nor MLB has him there. What am I missing? The Astros played game 84 last night. At 3.1 PA per game, Pence needs 260.4 PA to qualify, which rounds to 260. Pence as of this morning has 249 at bats, 10 walks and 1 hit by pitch, which adds up to 260. I guess the programs that calculate these ranks don't round down the required PA. He'll need 263.5 at the end of play tonight, so if he comes up four times, he'll be on the board tomorrow.
