Meanwhile, in Detroit, Austin Jackson is striking out in 37.2% of his plate appearances while walking in only 9.5% of them. Of course, he's hitting .313 thanks to a sky high BABIP of .491. Give him a still gaudy BABIP of .360 and his average drops all the way down to .233. Hell, Jackson's strikeout rate is so high that he struck out in every single game he had played in, until Tuesday's game against the Twins.

BABIP Bitterness!
Travis Snider is sucking so far this year, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. He's increased his walk rate (10.5% to 14.5%) from last year while simultaneously decreasing his strike out rate (32.4% to 25.4%). He's also hit line drives on 23% of his balls in play, which is very high. The end result? A BABIP of .133, yielding an average of .127.

gee, if only you could switch those players...
One is sucking, but I know they should be doing better. One is doing awesome, but everything I know tells me they should be sucking. My brain versus the actual numbers they're putting up.
