Law of Syllogism

In mathematical logic, the Law of Syllogism says that if the following two statements are true:

(1) If p, then q.

(2) If q, then r.

Then we can derive a third true statement:

(3) If p, then r.

BABIP is not an accurate reflection of the pitcher's skill.
WHIP relies heavily on BABIP.
WHIP is flawed.


Ah....  the law of syllogism.

This from the guy who thinks (A+B)/C automatically makes the A value half of the numerator.
