Batch rename files to include part of the folder name

I'm trying to write a batch file to rename multiple files inside multiple folders and can't quite figure it out.

The folder names all follow the same structure: "foo.bar_baz" and all the files inside the folder are 2 character codes (AA, AB, BC) and all share the same extension. foo and baz are constant throughout all the folders and bar changes every time. I want to rename all the files as bar_.

I don't have a lot of experience with batch files so I'm probably missing something obvious but I can"t figure it out.

for /d /r "d:\some\dir\" %%d in (*) do (
    for /f "delims=._ tokens=2" %%b in ("%%~nxd") do (
        for %%f in ("%%~d\??.*") do ren "%%~f" "%%b_%%~nxf"
    )
)
pause
