Graphing Chipper
A big ninth inning for the Braves breaks a 2-2 tie and Atlanta defeats Texas 5-2. The three run ninth, however, hurts Chipper a little bit. He was 2 for 4, but the offense caused him to come up a fifth time, and he made the last out of the inning to go 2 for 5 and remain exactly at .400. Despite the two hits, the five at bats increased his projected number of at bats this season, so his probability of hitting .400 went down, as you can see in the latest graph of Jones's probability of hitting .400. His current probability is 0.00045, or about 1 in 2220.
