Why do SFs hurt your OBP but Sac bunts aren’t counted? Neither is a PA. How long has it been that way?

Because a player who hits a sac fly are trying to hit the ball.
A player who hits a sac bunt is normally intending to give up an out.

A Ranger fan of my told me that Sori didn’t draw his first walk one year until the end of April. Since he had a SF, his OBP was lower than his BA. Not something you see every day…

was reading about her interview with the press this morning in the paper. seems she has little life outside of gymnastics. She didnt know if her parents were even there to watch her, had no idea when her next holiday would be, had no idea what she wanted to do after the olympics and then her coach or whatever stepped in and said she had way more gymnastics to do before thinking aobut that. rediculous
