Chris Roberson went 2-for-14 in the Tijuana series to drop to .370 in second on the table, so as of today, the batting title is Drake's to lose.<br /><br />Whatever happens, it's hard not to be glad for Yadir Drake. This is a guy who's gone through a LOT to be where he is today and while he's off to a slow start with the Fighters, he's playing at the highest level outside MLB while he'll get paid well and on time. Truly a story of perseverence and heart.Bruce Baskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503173315683332913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030223459426551975.post-38419312712173936652017-07-06T10:55:49.004-04:002017-07-06T10:55:49.004-04:00In LMB, a player has to have a minimum 2.7 PA/team...In LMB, a player has to have a minimum 2.7 PA/team game to be eligible for the batting title, right?<br /><br />Here is my understanding about whether or not Yadir Drake will be eligible for the batting title.<br />He had 300PAs for Durango this season and he has left for Japan.<br />Each LMB team is to play 111 games in a season, it looked like so he has cleared the mimimum PAs to qualify (111 games x 2.7 = 299.7PAs). <br />And one game between Durango and Leon has been cancelled and will not be made up because the game won't have any playoff implications.<br /><br />Do you think I'm correct in my understanding? <br />I'm Japanese and I saw Yadir Drake on TV today. I'm very happy for him. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
