BPHR question

[scorehouse]

how can you have 4 #hr chances on one roll? he has 5 total hr chances on his right side. what the hell are you talking about?

[scorehouse]

2- 5,6,7,9,10. only hr spots on his card. that's 5?

[joethejet]

Oh, I think I see your question.

When it comes to counting "chances" you have to look at how many ways you can roll a number. For example, there is only one way to roll a 2, a one and a one, but there are six ways to roll a 7 (1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, 6-1) See?

So, the counting works like this:
2 -1
3 -2
4 - 3
5- 4
6- 5
7-6
8-5
9- 4
10-3
11-2
12- 1

Does it make more sense now?

So for Branyan, he has BP HRs on 2-5 and 2-9, each are worth 4 chances for 8 total chances out of 108 possible on a hitter's card.

Joe D has 8 on both sides. He has 8.6 chance for a "straight" HR v LHP and 7.2 v RHP.

[scorehouse]

#hrs includes #fbs.
