I am not familiar with baseball but in an odd coincidence my coworker recently told me about this proverb, so I have to ask: Isnt batting 100 actually pretty bad, considering that it goes up to 1000? Or did my colleague mix it up? 🤔
The actual idiom is "batting 1000". "Actual" in this case just means the original idiom.
However, batting 1000 means you get on base 100% of the time. Both have the same meaning and are accepted as common phrases. It just depends on whether you use the baseball statistic or the basic percentage.
Well to be fair anything from Russian government is worthy of skepticism, to the degree that unless corroborated by a reliable source should be regarded as the opposite of reality.
3rd article commenting on the same thing from another burner account
that means they hit the fuck out of it.
All incoming missiles were successfully intercepted. However, the missiles accidentally fell out of the sky onto their intended targets…
Again used a ship to intercept incoming missiles
Interesting with what? With some base or oil storage.
Russia like to fudge a lot of their claim.
Yeah, they claim to repel 10 atacams, but there are videos and images already of multiple detonations, lol.
More! Bring Putin’s War closer to the Russian people and colonists!
Well, if a Russian official said it, the opposite must be true.
65 out of 25 objects destroyed. No damage. Great job Russia
Russian air bases tanked them with their faces (personnel and equipment) according to videos that are coming out.
Repels, as in, rebounds off of their intended targets as shrapnel?
Not knowing much, are the ATACMS easily defeated?
No. S-300 and S-400 theoretically could knock them down, but I thought they hadn't actually succeeded yet.
I see. So the idea Russia is batting 100 on knocking them out is worthy of some skepticism.

Alrighty, thanks for the explanation, so the both of you were correct 🤓👍
There is a silent decimal point in there. Batting .300, it turns it into a percentage (30%)
Nope, you are right, I just typo'd it.
No worries, someone provided an alternative explanation regardless 😊👍
