Should Jacobs be disqualified under the circumstances?

The only time we tend to look askance at eligibility is when a player is rehabbing.

Even though Welch got on base more and had a higher slugging??

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Singles just aren't that sexy.

Power and patience are better represented by the ISO's or counting stats, regardless of sample size. BABIP is fun but not really all that impressive in the end except if you're impressed by luck.

EDIT: clarity

ADD: to be fair, the additional double isn't really what swayed me, it's the positive BB/K.
