I know we've done with before, and I don't mean to start a , but I've been reading far too many baseball columnists who bitch about "bad luck" in baseball in the context of hitting. I believe that BABIP is, generally, a valuable tool, but that it has its limitations. Statistically speaking, a certain about of balls will find gloves, and a certain amount will find holes. But there is a difference between ropes in the gap and bleeders: less ropes get caught because fielders have less time to cover the same space in which they could field a bleeder. I humbly request that the concept of bad luck hitting be seriously considered before it is used. McCovey's line drive that nearly decapitated Bobby Richardson to end the '62 World Series was probably bad luck.
In summary: hit 'em where they ain't or STFU.
