Has there been any proven physical evidnece that there is a power boost in the at-bat following a Bop?
It happened twice yesterday, First Jack Clark hits a grand slam after a bases loaded double play ball was doinked. The Terry pendleton hits a 3-run shot after another botched double play. Both Clark and TP left the stadium. I had never seen TP do that.
Best guess is that there isn't, but I'll go check it out now since I'm bored ...
Doesn't appear to be. I played a 2-player game, California vs. Boston, with errors cranked. Pettis nailed the shortstop in the face for the BOP. DeCinces up next, showing 885 power in RAM, which is what it "should" be.

well, that didn't take long to disprove
discovering how the RBI ROM works was like discovering how DNA works
My guess is this:
Following a BOP, the team committing the BOP is noticably pissed off. Sometimes they find themselves in a "don't give a fuck" mentality, which often leads to grooving pitches.
That's all I got. ... .

No signature..... who the hell posted this? ;)
Edit: Instead of just being a wise-ass, I suppose I could make a suggestion, although I'll admit I pretty much agree with Ryno that the cause is more psychological or coincidence... What about a change in contact, as opposed to power?
Agreed, one of those "in your head things" like the old BOP because of a quick throw. We have a very simple mathematical proof we blurt out after an error though:
If BOP, then homer...
I totally want to beleive the quick throw bop theory, even though it is untrue. It just seems like it is.

I still do, but don't tell Nightwulf.

Nightwulf is going to kill you in your sleep tonight.
don't you try to do a quick throw everytime you field? then it can't be related to the bop.

Sorry, not the quick throw, an early throw (if you start to throw just before you field the ball)
still, doesn't that happen almost every time? anyway, i think it's just a mindtrick.
The power of the bop compels you...

No, I try to wait until I field the ball before I throw, since if I don't it makes the BOP more likely

yes, but i believe he subconciously wants to allude to insurance rather than law suits, the usage of "i" in his creative spelling ways.
This is exactly why I'm not touching JoeDirt's question about the run-in technique, or trying to disassemble the hitting routine. It just doesn't fucking matter.

The brewers know about this all too well.
Leading 2-0 last night in the seventh.
Jenkins BOP, then Lee homer.
Weeks BOP, then Ramirez homer.
Final score, Cubs win 4-2.
Ya know..... I think theyd show something like that on ESPN. Im gonna say that if Jenkins and Weeks took balls off the face and shin and sqautted there for few seconds with 3 white lines over their head, theyd show it and wonder what the hell was happening. Only us select few would understand.
