Could we get some more sarcasm and question marks? :roll: If a player has more sacrifice flies than his total of walks and HBP, then his OBP will be lower than his BA. You could, I don't know, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_base_percentage]look up the definition of on-base percentage[/url] to see why.

Speaking of sarcasm, the dictionary says see last reply. Man, take it easy on the rook Dean.
