I'm a well-known anti-DIPS guy. I don't question the math or a lot of the logic, but I think it discounts the ability of the pitcher far too much. That said, I'm curious how DIPS and the new Elias/ESPN-pushed contact rate play together. If you make more contact, but have an "unluckier" BABIP .... or if you make less contact with a luckier BABIP, both could look identical, right?
Paging MGL ... if we break BABIP into zones, do we learn anything?
Help a brother out and discuss ... don't use a lot of math, if possible :)
