batting a thousand = doing something perfectly; having great success; comes from the the baseball concept of a batting average, where "1.000" or "a thousand" (got a hit for every at-bat) is a perfect average Here, the father is using it sarcastically. Everything seems to be going wrong, so he says "batting a thousand" to sarcastically comment on it.
