Yeah, thanks, but I don't need for you to explain for me the things that you asked me to explain.
Whenever a hitter hits a non-foul ball (not necessarily a ball in play, since BIP inexplicably excludes home runs), it carries the potential (according to BABIP) to become a base hit around 30% of the time. A little more if you factored in the HR's that are excluded from BABIP.
So the other 70% or so become outs (though a small percentage of those may become ROE). Some of those outs in play advance runners. Some of those outs may become your "disastrous" GIDP. But before the final outcome is resolved, all fairly hit batted balls have at least 30% potential of being a base hit, with another percentage of them advancing runners, and another percentage becoming your disastrous GIDP.
Strikeouts carry 0% potential of becoming base hits. Strikeouts carry 0% potential of advancing runners. And yes, strikeouts also carry 0% potential of becoming your disastrous GIDP.
Would you, or would you not agree, that 30+% chance of something positive happening (base hits, HR or advancing runners), countered by a much smaller percentage of something negative happening (GIDP), is different than 0% chance or something positive (or "disastrous") happening?
And which would you prefer: 30+%, or 0%?
