B-R Doesn't Include

BBs in its total base calculation. Odd.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

As I Suspected

These are career highs for everyone except for Butler. Gordon’s BBs are where he really separates from the pack. In batted ball bases, Melky is just 3 bases behind.

We need to get a Total Accidental Bases scoreboard.

so we can include all bases earned on errors, as well as HBP.

Gia, Cain, Hosmer, Moose, Escobar, Perez, Gordon, Butler, Paulino, Hoch. If you squint a little and have a beer or two, you can see playoffs if you read it right.

Frogger Leads Alex

8-7 in the HBP race. I don’t know where to find ROE stats.

Walks don't count in total bases.

In baseball statistics, total bases refers to the number of bases a player has gained with hits, i.e., the sum of his hits weighted by 1 for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a triple and 4 for a home run. Only bases attained from hits count toward this total.

Go Royals!
