Tippett and DIPS (August 1, 2003)

ok...quick comment not about the dips stuff, but about the other thing he wrote(under complete games) he makes the assumption that say it takes 5 pitches to for an out...then that equals 135 pitches...

the highest batter pitches per batter is edgar martinez at 4.4 pitches per plate appearance...i'm guessing the league average is closer to 4 pitches per bat(108 pitches). of course he could have been adding the extra pitch per at bat to compensate for hits in the game(which would be about 27 extra pitches, which would be about 6 extra batters.)
